Orontium aquaticum, Linn. Golden Club. Lvs. ascending or floating, according to the depth of the water, oblong- elliptic, no distinct midrib, but numerous parallel veins; blade 5-12 x 2-5 in.; stalk 4-20 in. long: scape ½-2 ft. long. B.B. 1:364. L.B.C. 5:402. R.H. 1888:85. Gn. 27, p. 213. G.M. 54:247.—The foliage is handsome, dark velvety green above, silvery below. The plant is very strong and deeply rooted, growing in water 10-18 in. deep. On account of its firm hold on the soil it may be planted in swifter water than most aquatics. It has the fault of being difficult to eradicate when firmly established. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
