Gaz. 12: 103. 1887. Stem creeping, sometimes 12' long, the sub- terranean branches tuberiferous. Petioles short, or elongated; leaves peltate, orbicular or nearly so, i'-ii' wide, with 7-11 shallow broad mostly crenulate lobes; peduncles elongated; inflores- cence mostly proliferous, rarely simply umbellate; verticils 3-10-flowered; pedicels i"-2" long, or some of them rarely 4" long: fruit about l" long and 2" broad, slightly notched at both ends wheii mature, much flattened, the intermediate ribs corky-thickened, the dorsal one very obtuse. In moist ground. New Jersey to Maryland. The record of this species from Florida in our first edi- tion should apply to H. australis. June-Sept^ 3. Hydrocotyle verticillata Thunb.

In- florescence always proliferous, 1-2' long; verticils 2-6-flowered; pedicels very short, usually less than i" long; fruit about i" long, iJ"-2" broad, rounded or truncate at each end, not notched; intermediate ribs of the carpels filiform, not corky-thickened, the dor- sal one acute. In moist soil, Massachusetts to Florida, mainly near the coast, west to Texas. Arkansas and south- ern California, and in the West Indies, Central and South America. June-Sept.
