96 THE FLORA OF THE ALPS 
The pitcher-like bladders with which the leaves are pro- 
vided capture water animalcules, which are then consumed 
and digested as in a stomach. 
The four British species :—U. mznor, L., flowers light 
yellow, leaf-segments denticulate-spiny, spur of corolla 
minute; U. vulgaris, L., flowers dark yellow, upper lip of 
corolla about as long as palate, spur conical; U. neglecta, 
Lehm., upper lip of corolla two or three times as long as 
palate; and U. zutermedia, Heyne, spur conical, acute, 
bladders on separate branches; also U. Breemzz, Heer, 
resembling mor, but lower lip of corolla flat; all in 
marshes and swamps. 
Order LXIV.—GLOBULARIACE. 
Flowers small, in dense terminal umbels, surrounded 
by an involucre ; calyx 5-cleft ; corolla 4—5-cleft, obscurely 
2-lipped ; ovary I-celled with a single pendulous ovule. 
A small order, belonging almost entirely to the extra- 
tropical Eastern hemisphere. 
I. GLOBULARIA, L. 
Flowers in dense globular umbels, blue; calyx 4-cleft, 
with linear teeth; stamens 4, nearly equal in length; 
stigma simple, capitate. Alpine. 
G. cordifolia, L.; stem 1-24 in., leafless, with barren 
prostrate leafy shoots, leaves small, obcordate, a very 
ceespitose plant; alpine pastures, frequent. G. nudz- 
caulis, L.; stem 2-6 in., nearly leafless, with no barren 
shoots, leaves large, 3-4 in. long, obovate-lanceolate ;
