Sca/ie rooting in the mud, very slender, 4—6 inches high. 

 Flowers generally 2, the lower one on a short footstalk, about 

 half an inch in diameter. Calyx persistent; leaves equal. 

 Upper lip of the corolla half the size of the other; the lower 

 divided into 3 nearly equal obtuse lobe$. Spur straight, co- 

 nical, rather obtuse. 



Hab. Overflowed swamps, in the pine-barrens of New-Jersey, 

 June. 



The species here described differs from Mr. Elliott's U. 

 setacea^ in having fewer flowers, and the spur shorter than the 

 lower lip ; still, however, I think them not distinct. I have 

 specimens of Ucricularia setacea collected in Georgia by 

 Capt. Le Conte, with but 2 or 3 flowers on each scape, and 

 the nectary nearly the length of the under lip. 



5. U. gibbn Gron.: floating ; scape generally 2-flowered ; 



^pur shorter than the lower lip of the corolla, obtuse, gibbous 



in the middle. E 1 1 i 1 1 Sk. \, p. 22. Gro n. Virg. p.
