360 GENLISEA ORNATA. [Cuar. XVIII. 
hood expands into two wings on each side of the bladder. A 
third wing or crest appears to be formed by the extension of 
the dorsal surface of the petiole; but the structure of these 
three wings could not be clearly made out, owing to the 
state of the specimens. The inner surface of the hood is 
lined with long simple hairs, containing aggregated matter, 
like that within the quadrifid processes or the previously 
described species when in contact with decayed animals. 
These hairs appear therefore to serve as absorbents. A valve 
was seen, but its structure could not be determined. On the 
collar round the valve there are in the place of glands 
numerous one-celled papillw, having very short footstalks. 
The quadrifid processes have divergent arms of equal length. 
Remains of entomostracan crustraceans were found within the 
bladders. 
Polypompholyx tenella—The bladders are smaller than 
those of the last species, but have the same general structure. 
They were full of débris, apparently organic, but no remains 
of articulate animals could be distinguished. 
GENLISEA. 
This remarkable genus is technically distinguished from 
Utricularia, as I hear from Prof. Oliver, by having a five- 
partite calyx. Species are found in several parts of the 
world, and are said to be “ herbee annuz paludose.” 
Genlisea ornata (Brazil).—This species has been described 
and figured by Dr. Warming,* who states that it bears two 
kinds of leaves, called by him spathulate and utriculiferous. 
The latter include cavities; and as these differ much from 
the bladders of the foregoing species, it will be convenient 
to speak of them as utricles. The accompanying figure 
(fig. 29) of one of the utriculiferous leaves, about thrice en- 
larged, will illustrate the following description by my son, 
which agrees in all essential points with that given by Dr. 
Warming. The utricle (b) is formed by a slight enlarge- 
ment of the narrow blade of the leaf. A hollow neck (n), no 
less than fifteen times as long as the utricle itself, forms a 
passage from the transverse slit-like orifice (o) into the 
cavity of the utricle. A utricle which measured 3}; of an
