174 MR.:D. OLIVER, JUN., ON NEW SPECIES 
publication as anew species. In U. neottioides we find often 
many-flowered racemes, pedicels short, almost adpressed to the 
scape, “flowers. subsecund, subnutant,"— altogether very sug- 
gestive of its specific name. In Spruce’s plant the few flowers are 
not racemose, but with ascending or divergent pedicels 2-3 lines 
in length. Benjamin, in his Monograph of the Brazilian Utri- 
eularis, places this species under his section ‘ Ampulle destitute. 
Folia divisa. Although I have not myself actually seen in the 
typical plant either leaves or bladders, yet I think he is here in 
error. In the present variety both occur, the leaves being entire. 
St. Hilaire and Girard, in a paper, previously quoted, on South 
Brazilian Lentibularies, &c. (р. 31), state, in describing their 
species—“ Folia basi capillacea superius parum dilatata et divisa," 
&е., but follow with—* an potius primum integra, sed, paren- 
chymate aquis mox destructo, nervi superstites?" I append a 
further description of the pedicellate form, which may be com- 
pared with the plant of St. Hilaire by those botanists who possess 
good specimens of it. It is not improbable but they may be 
correctly considered as distinct species. 
Radia fibrillis utriculiferis instructa, utriculis gibboso-urceolatis prope 
basin lateraliter brevi-pedicellatis. Scapus erectus. Folia parva 
lineari-lanceolata integra obtusa, in petiolum gracillimum angustata. 
Squame scapi 2-3 ovate basi-solute utrinque obtuse. Calyx lobis 
fere sequilongis, inferiore autem valde angustiore ovato obtuso, ma- 
jore abrupte v. late rotundato-cuneato. Corolla albo-virescens, labio 
superiore concavo ovato-rotundato integro calycem plus quam duplo 
superante, labio inferiore profunde trilobo, lobis lineari-oblongis ob- 
tusis :equalibus, calcari saccato scrotiformi brevissimo obtuso.—Pedi- 
celli fructiferi erecti. Capsula late elliptica v. obovata obtusissima, 
stylo subnullo. 
No. 3238. U. angustifolia, Bj. (Linnza, xx. pp. 311, 320). Flores 
flavo-virides. Esmeralda. Flor. m. xii. 
No. 3735? Ad eandem valde proxima, differt corolle colore purpu- 
rascente. Secus flum. Atabapo. 
The specimens of this plant are imperfect.

Scapus 6 uncialis, folis. j-j unc. longis obovato-spathulatis, Flores 
czerulei, fauce lutea. 
A single specimen with but one flower remaining. It corre- 
sponds very well with the description of U. bicolor, St. Hil. ; the 
form of the leaves, however, of that species is-undescribed:
