Cuanza," Maio 1857 I (? Island at Victoria Falls on the Zambesi) 

 {Dr. Kirk in herb. Hook.), 



The flov\-ers are very numerous, and are scattered at short 



intervals along half or even more of the length of the scape. 



This plant is a near ally of the foregoing (Z7. WelwitscUi), but 



differs in its smaller flowers and bilobed upper lip of the corolla. 



Dr. Kirk's specimens are stouter than those from Benguella. 



The flowers are not in a good state for examination, and the 



ovato-quadrate upper lip of the corolla is scarcely even retuse ; 



so that I cannot feel sure it ought to be referred to the same 

 species.

This plant is near U. capensis. It may be distinguished by the 

 difterent form of the upper lip, which is narrower below, and does 

 not appear to have its margins reflexed at all, at any rate not so 

 fts to hide the upper lobe of the calyx. It appears very variable 

 m the size of the flowers. In this respect, indeed, it by no 

 means stands alone amongst the species of this section of Utricu- 



laria.

I have seen but very imperfect specimens of this plant. I can- 

 not identify it with any species occurring further south.
