With both of them the scars of the leaf stems- are circle-round:' , for

You wish for an Illustration of the stipules- of Nymphaea alba &-

stipules of Nymoalba (not with an outer rim') (Caspary creates a word;: 
ausgerandet.Rand= rim.margin-, thus: mth an outer margin-. E. D..) ^ • 'Those 
of Korst Bossig of N, odorata have a broad outer rimr without bein^^ 
d-amagedjand it seems, that the rhizomes , which Mr.. Eaton sent from- N.A., 
are not with a rim',but pointetf or blunted^ depending. . The specinens
