Cabomda caroliniana, Gray (C. aquatica, DC., not Aubl. C. viridifolia, Hort.). Washington Plant. Fish-grass. Floating Ivs. green, oblong-linear: fls. axillary, 1/2in. broad, white, with 2 yellow spots at base of each petal; stamens 6. Ponds and slow streams, S. Ill. to N. C., Fla. and Texas. A.G. 15:157.—Hardy as far north as Phila. if not frozen. The commonest plant for fish-globes and aquaria; roots easily in earth, grows well, is dense and bushy, and a good oxygenator; prefers water free from lime. Prop. by cuttings set in earth in 1-2 ft. of water at 55-70° F. Commonly sold for aquaria in bunches of 6-12 shoots 8 in. long, wrapped with lead at base; without earth the bunch lasts 4-8 weeks, when it drops most of its Ivs. and must be replaced. Var. rosaefolia, Hort., is a form with reddish Ivs., less durable, and more difficult to prop. A. G. 15:157. Var. putcherrima, Harper, has sts. reddish purple, Ivs. darker with narrower segms. and petals bright purple. Ga. The true C. aquatica, Aubl., of Trop. Amer, with yellow fls. and nearly orbicular floating Ivs., is shown in B.M. 7090.                                                                H. S. Conard.
