Text Appearing Before Image:
WATEE-PLANTS. 81 purple flowers grow in a bunch upon the top of a long and circular stem. This plant is found in ponds and slowly-running rivers, and blossoms from June to September. The Flowering Rush will grow very weU in an aquarium if a small plant (having its tuberous root) is placed in a pot con- taining rich garden mould, covered with plenty of well-washed gravel. The Great Water Plan- tain (Alisma Plantago) (Pig. 60) is a very good weed indeed for the aquarium. Its leaves are of two different shapes : those which grow above the water are of a bright green colour, and some- thing like those of the Common Plantain, while those which remain en- tirely under water are long and narrow. The Hlac-coloured flowers grow on long three-sided stalks, which rise some distance above the sur- face. This plant is more or less common in ponds and ditches all over England. It can easily be cultivated in the aquarium, where it is both ornamental and useful. There are very few plants, I think, which so soon begin to grow after having been introduced in the tank. SmaU G
