It prefers a position where there is a gentle current of water, and increases rapidly by means of its tuberous offsets. Brasenia peltata {Hydro- peltis purpurea) (American Water Shield) is a handsome little plant with oval - shaped peltate leaves and small pur- plish-coloured flowers. Elisma natans (Floating Water Plantain) is a rare British plant, of small and neat habit of growth, and bears showy three petalled white flowers. Hottonia palustris (Water Violet) (Fig. 583).—This is one of the most beautiful of our native Aquatics. It has finely pinnate submerged leaves. The scapes rise above the surface of the water to a height of about i2in., and bear whorls of several pretty rosy-lilac coloured flowers. Hydrocharis MORSUS-RAN^ (Com- mon Frogbit) (Fig. 584).—This elegant little plant has small orbicular or kidnev- shaped leaves and three-petalled white flowers. Hydrocleys Com- MERSONi {Limno- charis Hiunboldtii) (the Water Poppy) is a neat-growing, tender Aquatic, and produces pretty pale yellow flowers with great freedom. It is very effective for introducing in shallow water during the summer months, but requires the protection of a greenhouse in the winter. Ftg. 583.—Hottonia palustris..
