lower leaves. Leaves linear, from three to twelve inches long, light-
green, succulent. Flowers solitary, consisting of six, linear, yellow
petals, which expand on the surface of the water at low tide. I have

flowering there. Very common throughout all the middle, southern,
and western states in rivers find creeks—abundant in the Schuylkill
river near this city. Flowers in July.
