Hydrocleis nymphoides, Buchen. (H. commersonii, Rich. H. humboldtii, Endl. Limnocharis humboldtii, Rich. L. commersonii, Spreng. L. nymphoides, Mich. Stratidles nymphoides, Willd. Vespuccia humboldtii, Parl.). Water-poppy. Fig. 1934. Perennial: st. prostrate and rooting: lvs. broad-cordate-oval, thick, mostly floating: fls. and lvs. arising from bracted nodes, both long- stalked: fls. 2-2 ½ in. across, with 3 obovate-rounded light yellow petals: carpels 5-7, not united. Brazil, to Buenos Ayres. B.M. 3248. B.R. 1640.—A handsome plant with the yellow fls. (lasting 1 day) standing well above the water. In habit, remarkably like Limnanthemum nymphoides. Grows well in an aquarium or in shallow water. Continuous bloomer; not hardy to frost. The cult, of Hydrocleis nymphoides is of the simplest. When grown in tubs, fill them in two-thirds full of moderately rich soil, covering with sand and fill up with water. Two or 3 plants planted in the center in a short time will furnish the tub with its bright glossy green lvs. and numbers of its bright cheery yellow fls., which continue late in the season. In natural ponds, planted on the edge, the plants grow very rapidly, and spread over a large surface of water. In artificial ponds, plant in tubs or boxes and place in shallow water or stand the tub or box on some stand, allowing 6-9 in. depth of water. William Tricker. L. H. B.
