230 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



U. MINOR and U. INTERMEDIA grow near together in Scarp, so that 

 Dr. Neuman's contention that U. ochroleuca, Hartm., is a hybrid 

 between these two species seems reasonable. 



U. MINOR, Linn. Island of Scarp, by Harris, July 1893, leg., 

 W. S. Duncan. 



If rightly placed here, a very delicate form with fine fili- 

 form leaves, very numerous bladders on pedicels ^ inch long, 

 without leaves, as well as numerous bladders on the leaves ; 

 evidently would have produced flowers, and already bore 

 " winter-buds," the flowering stems from the axils of leaves with 

 bladders. I am inclined to think that where the flower-stems 

 are produced late, if the flowers are not developed "winter 

 buds" take their place? Dr. Williams (I.e.] remarks that 

 Zabel has described a land form of U. minor. Such I found 

 on Woking Heath, Surrey, growing among moss and without 

 any water at that date (July 17, 1880), with flowering stems 3 to 

 5 inches high, and flowers expanded. I have a very delicate 

 form of minor from Flinders Moss, near Stirling, A. Croall, 

 1880. Mr. Croall was very successful in showing the flowers, 

 his specimens of U. negleda are beautifully dried. 



U. BREMII, Heer. 1 "Aug.-Sept. U. pulchella, C. B. Lehmann in 

 ////. Simillima U. minori, sed omnibus partibus paullo robustior, 

 sepala subrotunda subreniformia apiculo minuto," etc. 



To this I refer " Utricularia, Loch-a-na-Suinahe, Broadford, 



Skye, July 1895, S. M. Macvicar," and " Utricularia, East Loch 



Fad, Isle of Colonsay (V.C. 102), 26/7/1908, M. M'Neill;" 



and specimens gathered by Messrs. Marshall and Playfair at 



" Moss of Inshoch near Nairn, and in another station about a 



mile distant (V.C. 96) on 13/8/1898 (ref. No. 2176)," are I 



believe Bremii. They agree well with the plate (drawn from 



an authentic specimen) by Mr. N. E. Brown for " Eng. Bot. 



Supp.," but unfortunately not published. I refer here also a 



plant from "Loch Urr, Kirkcudbright, July 1888, Mr. Coles." 



A specimen from " Moidart, 1891, S. M. Macvicar, I cannot 



place anywhere. It has the habit of ochroleuca ; but branches 



given off from the main stem (2 ins. long) are almost leafless, 



with 25 to 40 bladders (the original specimens of ochroleuca 



have very few bladders), rather larger than those of minor, but 



on branches each bearing three, and wonderfully simulating 



the drawings of Cladocera or Water-fleas. 2 I can only suggest 



such a combination as U. neglecta x minor (U. major x minor}. 



Focke, in " Pflanzen-Mischlinge," iSSi, gives no hybrids of 



Utricularia. U. ochroleuca has been recorded also from Germany
