Perennial. Roots fibrous and tuberous intermixed. Leaves all radical, erect, spathu- 



late, coriaceous, glabrous; petiole f-2 in. long; blade ^-1 in. long, 3-5 lin. broad, 



obovate or narrowly elliptic, obtuse, cuneately narrowed into the petiole. Stem 2-5 iu. 



long, ^-f lin. thick, 1-2-flowered, glabrous, bearing 1-2 lanceolate, acute, glabrous 



scales l-2i lin. long. Bracts and bracteoles subequal, basitixed, 2-3^ lin. long, 1-1^ lin. 



broad, oblong or elliptic-oblong, obtuse, glabrous, not ciliate. Pedicels 4-0 lin. long, 



glabrous. Sepals 4J-0 lin. long, 3|-4 lin. broad, elliptic, obtuse, concave, glabrous. 



Corolla large, glabrous, purple or deep red; upper lip 3-4 lin. long, included in the 



dorsal sepal, erect, recurved at the apex, ovate, obtuse, with the sides abruptly reflexed 



around the mouth, then again curved forwards; lower lip 7-9 lin. long, 8-15 lin. 



broad, abruptly retiexed from the mouth of the spur, suborbicular, very obtuse, entire; 



spur f-1 in. long, gradually tapering from the L 2h-'& lin. broad mouth to the obtuse apex, 



with the basal half hanging straight down and partly embraced by the lower sepal, and 



the apical half abruptly curved forwards or upwards. Stamens with thick clavate 



curved filaments, glabrous. Ovary globose, narrowed into a stout style, glabrous ; upper 



lip of the stigma narrow, lower lip very broad, very obtusely rounded or subtruncate. 



Summit of Mount Roraima, 8000 ft., McConnell 8f Quelch, 105, 083 ; im Thurn, 293. 



Allied to TJ. montana, Jacq., but smaller, with larger petioles to the leaves, broader 



bracts, and differently coloured flowers, which, to judge from the dried specimens, appear 



to have been either purple or deep red. Probably it is the plant mentioned by 



Mr. Quelch in ' Timehri,' vol. ix. p. 178, as "the beautiful crimson Utricularia montana," 



since the flowers of the true U. montana ( = U. aljjlna), Jacq. are white. 



Utricularia Connellii, N. E. Brown, sp. n. (Plate 10, figs. 1-0.) Aphylla, H-4 poll, 

 alta. Caulis filiformis, 1-2-squamosus, glaber, 1-3-florus. Bractese et bracteolae 

 minutae, ovatae vel oblongae, ciliatae. Sepala elliptica, multi-nervosa, nervis pubes- 

 centibus ; sepalum inferius minutum, biiobum. Corolla ringens, glabra, labio 

 superiore erecto, anguste subspathulato-oblongo, labio inferiore suborbiculare obtuso 

 reflexo, calcare leviter curvato subacuto.
