369. Nymphaea reniformis, DC. (Castalia tuberosa, Greene.) 
White Water Lily; Pond Lily. 
Common; lakes, ponds and slow streams throughout. 
Not listed by Swezey. Occurring in many lakes 
throughout the southern part of the State. 
The Manuals make the character of the rootstock a 
diagnostic feature as between this species and N. 
odorata, and yet the odorata I find in Northern Wiscon¬ 
sin waters, with leaves decidedly purplish beneath and 
fragrant flowers, has on the rootstock the characteristic 
lateral tuberous-thickened branches of reniformis. 
Ranunculaceje . Crowfoot Family. 
370. Hydrastis Canadensis, L. Golden Seal; Orange-root. 
Pare; rich woods. Observed at but three stations 
within our limits, and then sparingly. Swezey ? s list re¬ 
ports it from Milwaukee and Pacine, only. 
371. Caltha palustris, L. Marsh Marigold; incorrectly called 
Cow-slips. 
Common; along streams and in wet meadows, lighting 
the barren spring landscape with a glorious blaze of 
color. 
372. Coptis trifolia, Salisb. Gold-thread. 
Pare; in sphagnum, tamarack swamp, Wind Lake* 
Pacine Co. 
373. Isopyrum biternatum, T. & G. 
Frequent; moist woods. The thickened root-tubers of 
this species are very characteristic. 
374. Actaea spicata, L., var. rubra, Ait. (A. rubra, Willd.) 
Bed Baneberry. 
Occasional; rich woods. A form with thickened 
pedicels is sometimes met with, perhaps the result of 
hybridization. 
375. Actaea alba, Bigel. White Baneberry. 
Frequent ; rich woods. With the preceding but more 
common. Occasionally occurs with slender pedicels.
