The specimens are very imperfect. The tube of the corolla 
is very woolly inside, but the lobes appear to be nearly smooth, 
as in the South African S. Thundergii, Roth. Both species: 
are probably not distinct from the S. Plumieri, a sea-coast 
plant belonging to both the New and the Old World. 
LXVIII. UrRICULARINEX. 
. Of this Order also we have no specimens from the Niger Expe- 
dition, but the following eight W. Tropical African species have 
been published: Utricularia stellaris, which, from Senegambia, 
extends over nearly the whole of Africa and East India; U. 
inflera, Forsk., confined to Africa, from Guinea to Nubia and 
Egypt ; U. ambigua, A. DC., and U. arenaria, A. DC., from 
Senegambia; and U. spiralis, Sm., U. micropetala, Sm., ü 
. Striatula, Sm., and U. pubescens, Sm., from Sierra Leone.
