gardens about Edinburgh in 1834. It flowered freely in 
the stove at Dr. Neitx’s, also at Comely Bank Nursery, and 
with us. I cannot hesitate to agree with those who consi- 
der Drosera tenuifolia of Wittp., as synonymous with D. 
filiformis of Rarinesque, which, being the earliest published 
name I retain. 
Descr. Primordial leaves deltoideo-subulate, glabrous ; 
secondary leaves radical, linear, circinate, very woolly at 
their base, channelled and glabrous behind, in front round- 
ed and covered with spreading, greenish hairs, which sup- 
port, on their summit, a red gland, and exude a viscid, 
colourless juice. Scape lateral, with us always simple, 
green, glabrous, about as long as the leaves. Spike race- 
mose, unilateral. Pedicels, and five-cleft persisting calyx, 
covered with green, glandular hairs. Corolla glabrous, 
rose-coloured, more than twice as long as the calyx, mar- 
cescent ; petals five, obovate, claws greenish. Stamens 
five, scarcely longer than the calyx ; Pp pemnes colourless ; 
anthers erect, oblong, yellow. Pollen- granules round, 
yellow. Styles eight, spreading at their base in pairs,
