smaller growth ; flowers through the summer. Figured in 

 English Botany, Plate 2292. 



3. Nuphar Kalmiana : a native of North America ; unfor- 

 tunately for the specific name of the preceding (minima J, is 

 still smaller ; thrives best in water, only three or four inches 

 above the mud ; leaves about two inches in diameter ; flowers 

 a bright yellow, with a crimson radiated stigma ; blooms in 

 July and August. Introduced in 1807, and is figured in the 

 Botanical Magazine, Plate 1243, as Nymphcea Kalmiana. 



4. Nuphar advena : a native of North America ; a strong 

 growing plant : the root extends a considerable length, and is 

 about the thickness of a man's arm; the leaves are more 

 acuminate than any of the Nymphceas, or other Nuphars, and 

 are supported by strong footstalks, rather above the water ; 

 the petals yellow ; the inside of the calyx is dark purple, 

 approaching to black, which gives the flowers a rich appear- 

 ance ; leaves and flowers the size of N. lutea; requires from 

 two to three feet of water; flowers about July and August. 

 Introduced in 1772, and is figured in the Botanical Maga- 

 zine, Plate 684, as Nymphcea advena. 



All the Nuphars are perfectly hardy, and require no atten- 

 tion whatever, during the winter season. 



The fourth genus consists of but one species. 



Euryaleferox : a native of the East Indies ; only an annual, 

 though a most interesting plant, from the magnitude, and 

 structure of the leaves, which have grown with me 30 inches 

 in diameter ; the ribs (more properly than veins,) on the under 

 side, near the insertion of the footstalk, project half an inch, 

 and are full of tubes, some of which, at the largest end, are 

 the size of a crow quill ; the leaves are nearly circular, lobed,
