Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Neptunia plena, Benth. (Mimosa plena, Linn. Desmanthus plenus, Willd.). Natant, with prostrate sts., foliage sensitive and much like that of the common sensitive plant, Mimosa pudica: the fls. are so odd that one at first sight would not imagine that they belong to the legume family. They are small and collected in an ovoid head, 1 ½ x 1 in. and borne singly on stalks 6 in. long. These heads or spikes are drooping and have numerous stamens. The singular feature of these fls. is a mass of yellow petalage composed of 6 or more tiers of reflexed narrowly lanceolate bodies, which are really transformed and sterile stamens. The plant floats on pools and has grooved sts., the part under water being white, spongy and full of air-cells. Lvs. alternate and far apart; Ifts. many, crowded, linear, obtuse. It is of difficult cult.and can probably not be secured in the trade at present. It grows in the E. Indies and S. Amer., and Mex. and elsewhere. B.M. 4695. B.R. 32:3. L. H. B.
