| October 16. |
The Polygonum dumetorum in Tarbell's Swamp lies thick and twisted, rolled together, over the loose raised twigs on the ground, as if woven over basketwork, though it is now all sere.
The Marchantia polymorpha is still erect there. Viola ovata out.
The Lysimachia stricta, with its long bulb-lets in the axils, how green and fresh by the shore of the pond!
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, October 16, 1853
The Lysimachia strida, with its long bulb-lets in the axils, how green and fresh by the shore of the pond! See October 5, 1856 ("Long pointed reddish bulbs in the axils of the Lysimachia stricta are one of the signs of the season .")
