cuneate, sessile, veins reticulated: scapes erect, and the calyx glabrous: 
seed-coat not arilliform.—DC. prod. 1. p. 318 ; Spr. syst. 1. p. 955 ; Roab. fl.

This was obtained from an Indian herbarium, but may have been sent from 
Europe: it is quite the same as the English plant.

122. (4) D. peltata (Sm.:) stem erect, glabrous: leaves scattered, petioled,

The cili: on the sepals are either present or absent in the Indian specimens, 
and afford no character to separate them from the New Holland plant. 
Il. ALDROVANDA. Linn. ; Lam. ill. t. 220. 
Stamens 5. Styles 5, filiform: stigmas obtuse. Capsule globose,5-valved. 
Seeds 10, large.—F loating plants. Leaves verticelled: petioles cuneate, end- 
ing in 4-5 long bristly horns ; limb folded into a kind of crescent-shaped, 
winged bladder. Peduncles axillary, solitary, 1-flowered, about twice as

We insert this on Plukenet's authority, all his Indian plants, we believe; 
without a particular locality, having been obtained from the Peninsula, 
Sub-ord. 2. PaRNassiEE (Ara.) Sepals 5; sestivation imbrica-
