190 INDIAN SPECIES OE UTRICULARIA. 



Pedicellus infimus demum patens v. adscendens, calyce 2-3-plo longior. 

 Braciece bracteolceque minutissimaj, a basi vix solutai. Calyx lobo 

 superiore suborbiculato corollae labium superius excedente, inferiore 

 valde minore subrotundato calcari 2-3-plo breviore. A basi posteriore 

 calcaris ad extremum corollse labii inferioris 1-2- lin. 



Ab U. brachiata (cujus semina matura non certe vidi) differt, foliorum 

 forma prpesertim, statura minore, et a ceteris sectionis hujus seminibus 

 longe-appendiculatis vel corollae labii calcarisque forma. 



TltricularicB Indices miJii non satis cognitcd. 



26. U. MINUTISSTMA {VoM). Scapo capillar! 2-3 unc, squamis raris 

 bracteisque (ut mihi videtur) basifixis, floribus parvis paucisque sub- 

 remotis, pedicellis brevissimis bracteam sequantibus v. parum exce- 

 dentibus, calycis lobis vix sequalibus subobtusis. 



Itoc. Malacca {in Jih. Smith, vidi). 



27 (?). Utricularia (Madras coll. No. 52). Habitu 17. reticulatam 

 revocans, differt corollae labio superiore ovato elliptico vel sub- 

 rotundato marginibus reflexis emarginato, calcari labium inferius 

 CBquante v. interdum non parum excedente. 



That this paper may embrace all the Indian members of the 

 natural order Lentihularice, I append to the foregoing monograph 

 of the TJtricularicB a notice of the only species of JBinguicula 

 hitherto discovered in India. 



PiNGUICULA, li. 



1. p. ALPINA, Jj. 



hoc. Himalaya alpina; Sikkim, alt. 10,000-13,000 ped., J. B. Hooker \ 

 (? Kumaon, alt. 11,000, ped., Strachey et Winterbottom). Planta 

 Kumaonensis (exempla fructifera tantum, in hb. Hook, vidi) verisi- 

 militer ad speciem eandem pertinet. 



The occurrence of this plant in the Himalaya is an interesting 

 extension of its area towards the south and east. 



E-egarding the P. Jlavescens of Elorke as a form of the same 

 species, we may trace it from the north of Scotland, through 

 Scandinavia, and Northern and Central Eussia, to the Urals, and 

 the vicinity of Lake Baikal. At more considerable elevations it 

 crosses Europe from the Pyrenees, through the Alps, Austria, &c. 



I do not discover any material difference between Dr. Hooker's 

 specimens, aided by a coloured drawing from the fresh plant, and 

 the European series of P. alpina in the Hookerian herbarium. 

 The Sikkim specimens are almost or quite glabrous, of the stature 

 of P. vulgaris, and with pale yellowish-white flowers, bearing a 

 yellow spot in the throat.
