Watery places ; not uncommon in England. ' If . 6 — 9. — Stems 
2 — 3 feet high. If any haves grow under water, they are deeply pinna- 
tifid, otherwise only deeply serrate. Pedicels usually deflexed. Style 
as long as the oblong germen. A. nutans {Nasturtium DC.) is closely 
allied; so also is A. Americana {Nasturtium natans Torr. and Gr.), 
but it has the white petals and peltate stigma of the next. 
2. A. *rusticdna Baumg. (common H.) \ radical leaves oblong 
on long foot-stalks crenate, cauline ones elongato-lanceolate 
serrate or entire, root long cylindrical, petals (white) twice as 
long as the calyx, pouch 2—3 times shorter than the pedicel, 
stigma peltate. A. Rivini Rupp. Cochlearia Armoracia L. : E. 
B. t. 2323. 
Said to be wild near Swansea ; also in some parts of the north of 
England, and in Scotland, but too often the outcast of gardens. If. 
5. — Roots long, running deep into the ground, well known at our 
tables, and esteemed for their pungent flavour. Leaves much veined. 
Fruit seldom perfect. 
10. Cochlearia Linn. Scurvy-Grass. 
Pouch oval or globose, many-seeded ; the values turgid, with 
a prominent nerve in the middle. Filaments simple. Hypo- 
gynous glands 4. Seeds not margined, tuberculate. Calyx 
patent. — Name : cochlear , a spoon, from the shape of the 
leaves. 
1. C. officindlis L. ( common S .) ; pouch globose ovate or 
elliptical, radical leaves cordate at the base, usually reniform 
entire or sinuate, sometimes hastate. — a. larger, cauline 
leaves nearly all sessile, usually oblong or oval sinuate. E. B. 
t. 551. — /3. smaller, lower stem-leaves usually deltoid and 
stalked. C. Groenlandica L. : E. B. t. 2403. — y. radical 
leaves sometimes and cauline ones nearly all hastate stalked. 
C. Danica L. : E. B. t. 696. 
a. and 7 . on the sea-coasl, in a stony or muddy soil, frequent ; /3. on 
the Highland mountains. 0 or If? 5 — 8 . — The common variety ex- 
hibits, on the shores of the Frith of Clyde, all the variations noticed in 
the shape of the pouch, which is, moreover, often as large and veiny 
as in the figure of C. Anglica in E. B. t. 552. The true radical 
leaves of our var. 7 . are peril aps.al ways reniform ; but having decayed, 
or been broken off, the lower cauline ones are mistaken for them. 
2. C. A'nglica L. ( English S .) ; pouch elliptical (large) 
veiny, radical leaves petiolate ovate or oblong entire mostly 
acute or tapering at the base sometimes subcordate, cauline 
leaves mostly sessile oblong sinuate or with a few coarse teeth. 
E. B. t. 552. 
Margins of large rivers, at a distance from the open sea, perhaps 
not uncommon. Thames between London and Woolwich ; Severn, 
Wye, and Avon above Bristol; Mersey near Warrington. Cree near
