Lower Guinea. Angola: Huilla; Humpata Plateau and in Morro de Lopollo, 
5400 ft., Wetwitsch, 261! near the Kuebe River, 3900 ft., Baum, 303! by the

Also in Madagascar and Eastern South Africa. 
Kamienski (l.c.) quotes what he considers the typical form from “ Angola 
(Welwitsch, Iter angol. n. 261, Golungo) ” and the variety hudllensis from 
“Benguella (Welwitsch, Iter benguellense, n. 261, Dist. Huilla).” Specimens were 
actually distributed from Lisbon, with the inscription “ Welw. Iter Angolense, 261, 
Utricularia prehensilis, E. Mey., Golungo Alto”; but there is no such label in 
Welwitsch’s collection at the British Museum, and there is no doubt that n. 261 
was collected in Huilla. Welwitsch describes (apparently from fresh material) the 
palate as deeply marked with four channels, and De Candolle speaks of 4 crests. 
(“palato lamellis quatuor sursum exarato”’) in describing U. hians. I have not 
been able to inake ont the channels nor the crests in dried material. 
12. U. andongensis, Welw. ex Kam. in Engl. Jahrb. xxxiii. 104. 
A delicate terrestrial annua! growing in patches. Rhizoids filiform, 
branched, minutely glandular-verrucose. Leaves persistent at the time 
of flowering, in small rosettes of 3-6, linear, obtuse, narrowed at the 
base into a very short petiole, up to 15 lin. long and 1 lin. broad, fre- 
quently producing pitchers and rhizoids, Pitchers on the rhizoids and 
leaves, subglobose, + lin. long, inverted ; upper lip divided almost to the 
base into 2 slender horn-shaped tentacles, curved over the orifice. 
Scape filiform to capillary, flexuous, 2 to more than 4 in. high; scales 
very few and minute. Flowers 1 or 2, distant; bracts and bracteoles 
subequal, lanceolate, acuminate, } lin. long; pedicel about 3 lin. long, 
capillary. Sepals broadly ovate in flower, upper larger than the lower, 
1? to almost 2 lin. long, orbicular and acutely acuminate when ripe. 
Corolla yellowish, up to 44 lin. Jong (from the tip of the upper lip to 
the end of the spur); upper lip ovate-oblong, obtuse, slightly exceeding 
the upper sepal ; lower lip orbicular, 2 lin. long, palate scarcely gibbous, 
smooth ; spur conical, acute, 24 lin. long, straight or nearly so. Anthers 
slightly over } lin. long; filaments filiform, } lin. long. Stigma sub- 
Sessile ; upper lip indistinct ; lower short, broad, truncate. Capsule 
and seeds unknown.—JU. prehensilis, var. parviflora, Oliver in Journ,

Lower Guinea. Gaboon: Sierra del Crystal ; on rocks in rivers, Mann, 
1684! Angola: Pungo Andongo ; boggy places by the Casalate River, on the steep 
slopes of Pedra Songue, 3000 ft., Welwitsch, 264! 
No doubt, more nearly allied to U. tortilis than to U. prehensilis ; but sufficiently 
distinguishable by the persistent leaves, much broader and more conspicuously
