Remarks

["June 3. . .Plucked a white lily pad with rounded sinus and lobes in Loring's Pond, a variety." Journal 8: 364. 1856; "July 5. . . Borrowed Witherell's boat and paddled over Loring's Pond. . . Much of this pond is now very shallow and muddy and crowded with pads, etc. I can hardly push through them. Yet I can see no more white lily pads shaped as that has appeared to have been which I found here a few weeks since." Journal 8: 400. 1856]
