WILSON’S OBSERVATIONS, 313 
olla with a white hollow protuberance in the throat below, 
covered with glandular pubescence, and the limb sparingly 
beset with glandular-tipped hairs. Filaments bent as in 
Utricularia, bristly at the base, granulated above. Anthers 
I-celled. Stigma without any distinct upper lip, lower lip 
revolute and transversely corrugated. Throat of the corolla 
internally yellow, streaked with red; spur reddish. 
2." Pinguicula grandiflora. Near Kenmare, August 7, 
1829. Nectary cylindrical, NorcuED (second inflorescence) 
at the extremity and sometimes strongly 2-lobed, the lobes 
widely spreading. Corolla marked on the palate with five 
Prominent dark lines with intermediate furrows covered with 
jointed bristles, most copiously so near the nectary where 
they are pointed inwards. Anthers 1-celled; pollen globular, 
discharging in water the granular contents at a small orifice 
much like the anthers of mosses. Upper lip of the stigma 
Narrow, tapering, and acute, the lower revolute, rounded, 
finely crenate with a fringed margin, bent towards the ger- 
men so as to conceal and partly surround the anthers. Seeds 
with reticulated skins, receptacle of the seeds globular pedi- 
cellated. The corolla is sometimes 4-cleft. 
N.B. Smith in the Sp. Char. makes “ petal” synonymous 
with “ corolla." 
. 9. Utricularia minor. Dromuchty Lake, near Kenmare, 
August 7, 1829. Lower leaf of the calyx slightly notched. 
Bracteas cordate. Palate of the corolla not flat, though less 
. * May 18,1830. I have now several plants of Pinguicula grandiflora, 
in full flower; as well as a brood of young ones, from the axillary buds so 
plentifully formed in the Autumn. The nectary is deeply notched, or 
rather with two lobes, widely spreading. In the evening, and before rain, 
the flower-stalk becomes very much curved just below the flower, elevating 
the nectary from a nearly vertical direction to a horizontal one, and 
depressing the limb of the corolla so that rain cannot enter. I have 
Observed this to happen in the same flower for three successive — 
Seconp SERIES. QR
