which is three lobed ; I could not find any signs of 

 flowering; or any remains of a flower past, on it ; 

 but I suspected it, to be species of Dentaria ; the 

 root especially the young shoots have a very 

 agreeable pungent taste : it grows very plenty 

 here, in shady moist places. — when he came to 

 the first pond, we kept ourselves quiet to watch 

 for deer coming in sight, we seen two, but both 

 out of reach, on the other side of the pond ; here 

 I observed nymphsea lutea & odorata in flower, 

 the latter only beginning to expand ; — Pontederia 

 cordata (a fl:) which I dit not expect to find 

 here. Brasenia peltata (:a fl:)— this plant I 

 always had an Idea to be a more Southern one, 

 but it grows here to great perfection. Schoe- 

 nus cyperoides ? &c. 



On the second pond I went on a Granberry 

 marsh, which produced nearly the same plants, 

 as those mentioned on the marsh on Pokono 

 mountain ; Mr. Millbourne told me that he had 

 seen quit white Cypripediums on this marsh & 

 by his account, it seems to be a sort nearly re 

 lated to the C. acaule. The borders of those lakes 

 are very difficult to come at, excepting on those 

 marshes, where you have to wate through the 

 swamps & mire sometimes to the middle. We 

 went up to the third pond, which is the highest : 

 nothing new, but a species of red currants with 

 hispid fruit, quit new to me ; it grows in wet 

 marshy ground, I found it afterwards in de- 

 scending from those lakes or ponds quite in a 

 hollow on one of the branches of creek in 

 marshy muddy rich land ; the berries are very 

 <rood to eat, as they say ;— Nephrodiuni Filix
