pointed, buds erect, scions filiform.—Florig. Brit. f. 624.—St. 1, 
2 or even 3 feet high, often decumbent and rooting, elevated

we im rosettes.—Deep ditches in peat-bogs. P. VII. 
8. E. tetragonum (L.); 1. oblong-lanceolate narrowing upwards 
from a rounded base sessile denticulate, intermediate 1. shortly 
decurrent, st. with 2 or 4 elevated lines, stigma undivided, seeds 
oblong-obovate not pointed, root somewhat creeping.—E. B. 
1948.—The intermediate 1. are truly decurrent and often combine

and terminating in rosettes.—Damp places. P. VII. VIII. 
9. E. roseum (Schreb.); 1. stalked ovate toothed, st. with 2 or

—E. B. 693.—St. 1—2 feet high, branching, nearly or quite
