developed, are not, as is usual, attached immediately by the bract, 
but spring from the very short pedicel at a small yet clearly 
marked interval beneath the true calyx-segments, towards which 
they are, of course, laterally disposed. Benjamin has erroneously 
regarded these bracteoles as forming part of the calyx, and indeed 
figures them as such in the * Flora Brasiliensis.’ It is undoubt- 
edly а true Utricularia. A. DeCandolle, in describing the plant 
(Prodr. viii. 23), expressly states, **. . . bracteolis 2 majoribus flori 
adpressis;" and in the description of U. fimbriata, H. B. K. 
(Nov. Gen. et Sp. ii. 225), which I think the same species, we 
also find a correct view has been taken of these appendages:— 
* Pedunculi basi instructi bracteola ovata dentato-ciliata adpressa. 
Bractes dus sub quoque flore, opposite, ovate, dentato-ciliate,” 
&c. If an examination of the specimens of Humboldt and Bon- 
pland confirm this presumed identity, their name must necessarily 
take precedence.
