Hippuris (horse-tail from the looks of the plant). Haloragidacese. Perennial aquatic herbs, one sometimes used in bog-gardening. Sts. simple: lvs. small, simple and entire, verticillate: fls. small and inconspicuous, perfect or polygamous, sessile in the axils; petals none; calyx entire; stamen 1; nearly or quite sessile, with the thread-shaped style lying between the 2 anther-lobes: fr. nut-like, 1-seeded.—Three species, very widely dispersed in temperate and frigid regions. H. vulgaris, Linn. (Fig. 1842), may be transferred to wet grounds and pools: to 2 ft. (or more in deep water): lvs. 6-12 in a whorl, acute, usually withered at the apex. In ponds and streams, Greenland, and Alaska to N. Y., New Mex., Calif.; also in Eu., Asia and in Patagonia.—It produces an attractive effect with the simple shoots standing above the water in ponds.
