Hottonia inflata, Ell., the American plant, has spongy sts. and clustered peduncles, which are partly above water, inflated, jointed, the lowest joint 2-4 in. long and sometimes 1 in. thick, the others 1-3 in number and successively shorter: fls. white in whorls of 2-10 at the joints. B.B. 2:586.—Neither species is advertised. Like all aquarium plants, they are interesting, but they have no horticultural value otherwise. Both plants are called feather foil and water-violet; the American also water-feather and water-yarrow. The European species has dimorphic fls., after the manner of Primula. The earlier fls. in the American species are cleistogamous. L. H. B. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
