 plentifully in the ditches of rice-fields at Rofetta. The 

 Arabians name it Hamul. The fame was obferved by 

 Thonning, in ftagnant waters on the coaft of Guinea. 

 Vahl. The radical Ikoots are a fpan long or more. Leaves 

 three or four in a whorl, with fcattered, very narrow, forked 

 leaflets. Bradeas from four to eight towards the bafe of the 



floiverflalk, feflile, often an inch long, acute at each end, 

 bearded at the fummit with leafy fragments. Stalk a 

 finger's length, thread-fliaped, bearing from fix to nine 



flo^uers, with a dry, lanceolate, flieathing yj-a/;, at the bafe ot 

 each partial flali, and of the fame length. The radical leaves 

 are with or without bladders. Vahl. Mr. Thonning, 

 quoted by this author, informs us that the inflated cellulai- 

 bra8eas ferve to float the upright flower-ftalks upon the fur- 

 face of the water. The corolla is whitifti, with purple veins ; 

 its upper lip tapering, obtufe, emarginate, concave ; lower 

 roundifli ; mouth clofed by the palate. Spur nearly the 

 length of the lower lip, conical, obtufe, curved upwards. 

 Capfule the fize of a pea, globofe, very fmooth, pointed witli 

 the ftyle, burfting all round, it« bafe attached to the flertiy 

 enlarged calyx.

 V. 2. 42. t. 180. — Whorled brafteas globofe-oblong, un- 

 divided, copioufly bearded. — Native of deep ditches in the 

 rice-fields of the Eaft Indies, where it was firft noticed by 

 Koenig. Very nearly akin to the laft, which was long con- 

 founded with it, but Vahl obferved truly, that the radical 

 flalks, bearing the leaves, in the true U. Jlellaris, are not fo 

 ftout, nor, as far as can be afcertained from dried fpecimens, 

 at all cellular. The flotvcr^Jlali alfo is more flender, bearing 

 its whorl of brafteas above half way up, towards the flowers, 

 not at the bafe. Thefe bra^cas are but a quarter the fize 

 of the otherd, being fcarcely three-quarters of an inch long, 

 and are obtufe, much more copioufly bearded, though we do 

 not find them, as he fays, all over covered with leafy frag- 

 ments. The flowers, too, are fmaller, and yellow, not 

 whitifh veined with purple. The fpur is thick and blunt, 

 twice the length of the calyx, but Ihorter than the lower lip 

 of the corolla, as Koenig rightly defcribes it. Roxburgh's 

 figure has no beaid to the braBcas.

 Lower Carolina, flowering in June and July. Flowers yel- 

 lovi'. Purfli. Like the foregoing. The leaves are five or 

 fix, an inch and a half long, firft deeply divided, then three- 

 cleft, flightly dilated towards the ends. Stalk fmooth, a 

 fpan high, or more, bearing from four to fix diftant racemofe 



flowers, their lower partial ftalks an inch in length. The 

 beards of the braSeas are longer, and more branched, than in 

 U.flellata. Vahl.

 ing horizontal thread-ftiaped roots throw out long fibres, and 

 from the fame point alternate, repeatedly compound leaves, 

 two or three inches long, with briftle-fhaped, or almoft ca-
