 nearly twice as large, more veiny and yellower. Stalks 6 — 9 

 inches high, more viscid and stronger. Cat. blunter. Cor. 

 nearly of the colour of the last, but twice as large, finely reticu- 

 lated all over with dark blue veins, and much less unequally

Calyx-leaves two, small, ovate, equal, permanent. Cor. rin- 

 gent; upper lip obtuse, erect; lower larger, with a pro- 

 minent, heart-shaped palate; spur single or double. 

 Stam. short, with small cohering anthers. Germen glo- 

 bose. Style capillary, the length of the calyx. Stigma 

 2-lipped. Caps, globose, of 1 cell. Seeds numerous, small, 

 on a large, globular, central receptacle. 



Aquatic herbs, floating, in all our species, by means of blad- 

 ders attached to their stems or leaves, which latter are 

 finely divided. Fl. raised on a central stalk, above the 

 water ; in ours racemose, yellow. New Holland abounds 

 with simple-leaved, fixed species, whose floxvers, as well as 

 thoseofmany tropical Utricidari<r. are most generally blue.
