Note 105 — PETER KALM’s TRAVELS. (continued 3)
Johann Reinhold Forster translation
The cordated Pontederia105 grows plentiful on the sides of a long and narrow canal of water, in the places frequented by our water-lilies106. A great number of hogs wade far into this kind of strait, and sometimes duck the greatest part of their bodies under water, in order to get at the roots, which they are very fond of.
