 ways double the number of the valves of the capsule, in every 

 known Drosera, 

 In Switzerland the Round-leaved Sun-dew was remarked, by the 

 late Mr. Davall, to be much more rare tlian the long-leaved;, and 

 never found with it as in Britain.

Perennial. July, August. 



Rather larger and taller than the foregoing, and distinguished by 

 its nearly erect, obovate leaves, whose footstalks, as Dr. Hull 

 first remarked, are smooth and naked, not fringed with glandu- 

 lar hairs, though the disk and edges of the leaves agree in that 

 particular with the former. The Jowers, as well as their mode 

 of growth, are similar; but Dr. Hull and Mr. Sowerby found 

 the styles often varying from 6 to 8. The petals and stamens are 

 likewise frequently 6. 



3. D. anglica. Great Sun-dew. 



Leaves oblong, obtuse, erect, on naked footstalks. Flower- 

 stalks radical, racemose. Styles eight. Capsules with 

 four valves.
