Mrs. of the Deccan PENINSULA and CEYLON ;. frequent. 
Scape 2-8 in., suberect, 3-12-fld., leafless at flower-time. Pedicels suberect in 
fruit. Calyz-lobes elliptic, acute, lower often minutely toothed ; in fruit } in. very 
acute. Lower lip of corolla ovate, subacute, upper 4 in. ; spur at base projecting back- 
wards nearly in a line with the axis of the flower, then curved forwards. Seeds 
ellipsoid, outer cells of the testa oblong.— Wight's specimen of his U. pedicellata shows 
flowers only, and the seeds figured in his Zc. t. 1578, fig. 2, must have been taken from 
U. affinis. Thwaites (Enum. 171) unites U. affinis with U. cerulea, but the latter 
has much acuter calyx-lobes, and different seeds. As to U. acuta (Benj. in Linn. xx. 
314), doubtfully referred by Oliver to U. affinis, it is perhaps rather U. caerulea, as the 
lower calyx-lobe is much oftener toothed in this species. . 
VAR. conferta ; spur bent nearly at its base, so that it is pendent almost at right 
angles to the axis of the flower. U. conferta, Wight Ic. t. 1575.—Mts. of the S.

VAR. squamosa ; scape with numerous scales (bracts to suppressed pedicels}, flowers 
few subterminal, corolla rather larger than U. cærulea type. U. squamosa, Wight Ie.

VAR. Smithiana ; scapes 1 foot sometimes twining, lower lip of.corolla nearly 3 in., 
spur jin. U. Smithiana, Wight Ie. t. 1577. Utricularia sp. n. 27, Oliver in Journ. 
Linn. Soc. ii. 190.—Malabar or Coorg; Wight. This is referred by Oliver (Journ. 
Linn. Soc. iii. 180) to U. caerulea, possibly correctly. Wight’s Ic. t. 1577 however 
shows the seeds reticulate not scrobiculate, i. e. the outer cells of the testa are sub- 
hexagonal not oblong or elongate. If this is so, U. Smithiana is more nearly allied 
to U. affinis, and is probably a distinct species. The figure can hardly be trusted on 
such a point, and none of Wight’s examples exhibits fruit.
