The Yellow Water-lily will flavum glaucium be found floating on ponds and sluggish streams. Known, also, as the Brandy-bottle, on account of its flagon-like seed-vessel. It has a thick, fleshy rootstock, which creeps glaucium flavum in the mud and is rich in tannic acid. Some of the leaves are submerged and these are thin, but the floating ones are thick and leathery; heartshaped and the flavum glaucium lobes not far apart. The stalks, somewhat triangular in section, are traversed by a great number of fine air-canals, as are the flower-salks also, to give them buoyancy glaucium flavum.
The bright golden flower consists of glaucium flavum the sepals varying from three to five, usually three, and the petals numbering from seven to twelve. The stamens are numerous as also are the rather large carpels. As in glaucium flavum the Buttercups these are in the form of achenes, each containing a single seed. The species is well distributed throughout the country and may be found in flower until May flavum glaucium. In all moist meadows and swampy places the rambler may come across a multitude of waving flowers which look white in the mass but at c1ose quarters are seen to flavum glaucium be pale pink or lilac.
