TETRADYNAMIA SILICULOSA. 337

Awl-wort. AngUs.
It grows on the borders of the highland lakes, un-
der the water, in a gravelly or Tandy bottom, as
in Loch-'Ta\\ in Breadalbane.^ &c. Mr. Stuart.
O.Yin.
This plant is about an inch high : the leaves are
awl-Iliap'd, and grow in a clufter about the root :
the ftalk is naked, and produces four or five
fmall white flowers, growing alternately on fhort
peduncles.
It is very remarkable, that this diminutive plant
flowers under the water; vrhereas mofl: other
aquatic vegetables emerge from that element at
the time of flowering. This power of emergence
feems however the lefs necefl!ary in this plant, as
the petals are fcarcely ever feen to expand, but
connive together, fo as mofl" probably to defend
the impregnating Pollen from the injuries of the
water.
