opposite.— This striking species is well illustrated by Sir William 

 Hooker. Although so lately published, it was gathered long ago by 

 Banks and Solander (and figured, under the name of C. elevatum, 

 according to Dr. Hooker), and probably also by Commerson. For, on 

 having my attention called to the point by a note of Dr. Pickering's, 

 I think it is without much doubt the Hydrocotyle glechomoides of 

 Achille Richard, although this author's account does not altogether 

 agree with the plant.
