sibirica. 
* Iris tripetala. Root creeping. Stem slender, two feet high. Leaves 
shorter than the stem, linear-ensiform. lowers solitary. Exterior segments of 
the corolla large, twice as long as the stigmas, nearly acute, unbearded: interior 
larger than the style, three-toothed; the two interior teeth obtuse; the middle one 
longer, acute. Stigmas two-toothed near the base. Capsule nearly cylindrical, 
obscurely three-angled, very acuminate.—Found in the ponds of St. John’s and — 
St. Stephen’s ; and appears to be very circumscribed in its habitat, as I have heard 
of it in no other part of the country. Eiliot’s sketch of the botany of South Caro- 
lina and Georgia. 1. 46. 
+ Inis lacustris, Flowers without a bearded crest; leaves short ensiform; 
scape much shorter than the leaf, one-flowered; petals nearly equal? attenuated 
on the tube; capsule turbinate, three-sided, margined; seeds somewhat round 
and smooth; root tuberous. Found on the gravelly shores of the calcareous 
Islands of Lake Huron, near Michilimakinak. I have seen no perfect specimens, 
and therefore recommend the examination of this plant to others. Lt appears to be 
allied to Iris cristata, Nuttall’s Genera of North American plants, &c, 1. 23,
