In the * Linnea’ (vol. xx. p. 309), Benjamin describes a Utricularia 
under the name of U. scandens, quoting as a synonym * U. volubilis? 
of the Hookerian herbarium. Referring to this collection, I find a 
sheet upon which are mounted two very distinct species of Utricularia. 
To each of these is a label attached bearing the name * U. scandens, 
Bj.,’ I believe, in the handwriting of its author. To the specimens of 
one of these species the name U. volubilis, quoted by Benjamin, had 
been previously affixed: it is to this plant, moreover, that his de- 
scription applies; and from these specimens it was most probably 
framed. These latter, however, are obviously referable to the voluble 
and slender variety of U. Wallichiana, Wight, while the other examples 
belong to the very different plant which I have here described, additional 
specimens of which were met with in Dr. Wight's herbarium. I have 
thought it better not to import a new specific name for the species,
