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.
