Twigs (from branches of tall tree) thicke (±4mm)
Or catkins from scaly buds (no lvs) near ends
of last years wood, but also near the base of
this years lf-bearing shoots. & infl from axils
of new lvs. Stalks & infls mod 1cm long. The thicke
style with terminating in a ±3 lobed stigma
protrudes from the inclucure. Cells of ovary not
discernible. Effect young flos & O inf exactly as ill
BOTH. Also with lvs? ? Quercus pubescens
Wild from tree just east of Dr. Robson.
5-5-34 Potamogeton densus L. Coste III 418, Bote 3/5, BO H
449, SO K I 33 No fl & f. Canal said by Noville (floating
downstream from cutting higher up) Opposite lvs bear
no question ident. Effect very like all BOH (esp alertest
branch in all.) has broadly oval (1/7x3 mm)
5-5-34
No fl & f. with lvs from cutting higher upstream. A
thick, hollow, rooting at the 4 nodes about point where
cut. Lvs on piece as cut seem to have been all above water.
this is not certain as 2 lower lvs brown as tho in
water. Petioles hollow & easily compressed. 1 over
to 12 in long with 17 lfts primly arranged. Lfts
set very close, each pair set very close together at the
front so that their axis is so that they seem to be touching
(not on opposite sides of axis as in many plants (To this
what SVI means for Heloneiadum nodiflorum
p480?))
