A. acaule foliis sa-

Stemless; leaves sa- 
gittate, triangular, the 
angles divaricate, a- 
cute. 
A. Sagittifolium, Walt. p. 224. 
Intermingled with the preceding species is found the one which I have 
always supposed to be the A. Sagittifolium of Walter. The leaves, when 
fully grown, are larger than those of A. Virginicum, triangular, with divari- 
cate long, very acute lobes. Between the mature leaves of this and the pre- 
ceding species the distinction is strong, the young and small leaves frequent- 
ly resemble each other. In the spathe and spadix I have noticed no differ- 
ence.
