Certain flowers from the Giftberg and Modderfonteinberg have much reduced 

 spurs, in extreme cases not more than \ liu. long. They represent Oliver's 

 variety brevicalcarata of U. capensis (Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 154). There are, 

 however, also perfectly normal specimens and intermediate states among the 

 Giftberg Collection, and I assume, therefore, that the short spurred form is 

 merely a sport. The fact that I found among them another anomaly, a flower 

 with an inverted corolla and a dorsally compressed and lobed spur of slightly 

 less than normal length makes this still more probable, U. Rehmannii, Kam., 

 based on Rehmann, 2330, is typical U. capensis, to which Karaienski himself 

 refers Rehmann, 2329 and 2331, which were collected in the same locality as 

 2330. U. Sprengelii and U. Schinzii also proposed as distinct species by 

 Kamienski are in the same position. The author distinguislies thcra from U. 

 capensis mainly on account of their "pedicels being much longer than the 

 bracts " ; but they certainly do not differ more in this respect than the specimens 

 do which Kamienski admits as V. capensis. 



6. IT. Ecklonii (Spreng. Syst. iv. ii. 336) ; a delicate, very dwarf 

 terrestrial herb ; stolons, rhizoids, leaves and bladders as in U. 

 capensis; peduncle filiform, straight, simple, 1-3 in. long; flowers 

 6-1, rather distant ; bract and bracteoles ovate-lanceolate to lanceo- 

 late, |-A lin. long, lowest 1 or 2 bracts often barren ; pedicels very 

 short, at length sometimes almost 1 lin. long ; sepals orbicular to 

 ovate-orbicular, up to J Hn. long ; corolla pale purplish, or white 

 with purple veins with the exception of the yellow palate, or quite 

 yellow, 2-2i lin. long ; upper lip ovate, broad, emarginate to entire, 

 I- lin. long ; lower lip rounded, slightly 3-lobed, 1-1-J- lin. long, 

 palate smooth, slightly 2-gibbous ; spur as long as or usually some- 

 what longer than the lower lip, slightly curved or straight, finely 

 papillose ; anthers about -i-i lin. long ; filaments i lin. long ; 

 stigma sessile, upper lip linear, shorter than the broad orbicular lower 

 lip; capsule globose, to over 1 lin. in diam. ; seeds more or less 

 globose, \ lin. long, smooth. A.BC. Prodr. viii. 24; Drege in
