p4 REPORT ON TWO BOTANICAL COLLECTIONS FROM 
Leafless at the time of flowering. Stems 1}—4 in. high, filiform, glabrous, 1-2-flowered 
and bearing 1-2 minute, peltately attached, very minutely ciliate scales. Bracts j lin. 
long, ovate, acute, peltately attached, minutely ciliate. Bracteoles slightly shorter than 
the bracts, basifixed, oblong, acute, minutely ciliate.  Pedicels 1-2 lin. long, glabrous. 
Sepals about 14 lin. long, the upper nearly 1 lin. broad, ovate, subacute, the lower 
rather broader, emarginate at the apex, both deeply concave, strongly nerved, with a few 
short hairs scattered along the nerves. Corolla ringent ; upper lip erect, 3-35 lin. long, 
3—] lin. broad, subspathulate-oblong, obtuse, with recurved margins, minutely puberulous 
inside at the base; lower lip 4-5 lin. long, about 4 lin. broad, suborbicular, obtuse, 
abruptly deflexed from the mouth of the spur, where it is minutely puberulous. Spur 
41-51 lin. long, nearly in a line with the upper lip, slightly curved forwards, gradually 
tapering from the 14 lin. broad base to the subacute apex, compressed. Filaments of 
the stamens incurved, clavate, glabrous. Ovary ovoid, narrowed into a short style, 
glabrous; stigma with a narrow acute upper lip and a broadly ovate obtuse lower lip.

Allied to U. cornuta, Michx., but smaller, more slender, and with a more reflexed lower 
lip to the corolla. 
UTRICULARIA RORAIMENSIS, N. E. Brown, sp. n. (Plate 11, figs. 1-4.) Perennis. Folia 
radicalia, orbieulato-spathulata, 3-7 lin. longa. ` Caules simplices vel divisi, 14-3 
poll. longi, subfiliformi, 1-2-flori, 1—3-squamosi, glabri. Bracteæ minutz, trifide. 
Flores parvi, pedicellati. Sepala inzqualia, glabra; sepalum superius ellipticum, 
obtusum, profunde concavum ; inferius brevius, subquadratum, truneatum. Corolle 
labium posticum ovatum, obtusum, intra minute glandulosum ; labium anticum 
late subreniforme breviter 3-lobum, abrupte reflexum, minute glandulosum ; calear 
late conieum, obtusum, minute glandulosum. 
Perennial. Leaves all radical, spathulate, glabrous; petiole 2-5 lin. long, slender ; 
blade 1-2 lin. long, 4-1% lin. broad, obovate or orbicular, obtuse, cuneate at the base. 
Stems 1—4 to a plant, simple or once branched, 11-3 in. high, subfiliform, 1-2.flowered, 
glabrous, bearing 1-3 minute, oblong, obtuse, glabrous scales. Bracts minute, trifid, 
with the lateral teeth narrow and acute, and the middle tooth broadly rounded, glabrous, 
not ciliate. Pedicels 1-25 lin. long, filiform, erect. Sepals unequal, thin, glabrous; 
the upper j-1 lin. long, elliptic or elliptic-ovate, obtuse, deeply concave, with about 4 
rather obscure veins; the lower $ lin. long, and about the same in breadth, subquadrate, 
truncate or very slightly emarginate, 4-veined. Corolla small; upper lip 1-1} lin. long, 
$-$ lin. broad, ovate, obtuse, concave, erect or ascending, minutely glandular within; 
lower lip 1$-1$ lin. long, 2 lin. broad, subreniform, shortly 3-lobed, and more or less 
undulated, abruptly reflexed from the mouth of the spur on which it rests, minutely 
glandular on the lower part; spur 1j lin. long, 14 lin. broad at the mouth, broadly 
conieal, obtuse, compressed, minutely glandular, directed at a right angle to the pedicel. 
Stamens with curved clavate filaments, glabrous. Ovary globose, abruptly contracted 
into a stout style, giabrous; stigma with a minute tooth-like upper lip and a large 
truncate lower lip.
