A species easily recognized by its size and trapezoid form. 
A. trapezoides, indeed, is a more appropriate name than A, 
trilobum ; but the latter has the right of priority. Our Aspl, 
parvulum of the leones Plantarum, is merely a smaller and 
young state of this ; we were the more disposed to think it 
distinct, from its being detected on the Atlantic side of 
America : having been previously known only on the Pacific 
coasts.
