Cote I 57; Bon 12; BuH 19, BM) C.P. 270; SVK I 251 FL Lake just beyond la Grangette. Stigma rays yellow and ovary provided with stamens to close under the stigma disk. This and distribution acc to SVK point to N alba. But inner filaments are at least as wide as anthers and if as it lies in the water, has its sinuses merely a slit with edges of lobs ± tend- ing (but not "ubereinander geschlagen" - as if dries in collecting box the edges are divergent.) In water, leaf differs from Nuphar luteum in being almost circular v having basal lobes 2X1 (in N. l. rounded) 7-18-34 Nuphar luteum Sibth & Sm. Cote I 58; Bon 12; BuH 10 = Nymphozaanthus luteus Fernald SVK I 251 FL Ditch north of la Grangette. Stigma funnel-shaped, deep in center, rays do not reach the edge which is slightly undulate but certainly not "spitz gezähnted, eitrgeschlitten". Stigma rays 15. 7-18-34 Lycinis alba Mill etc. FL 8, q v/2. Villeneuve dumps. Teeth of capsule as flaring as Contr. ill # 464. sts strongly swollen just above nodes. Seeds ± 1mm (seeds) L. divisa at least "1½ mm" cf with L. divisa of 7-26-34 Rockies de Noye.
