Bentham (l.c. 527) regards this plant as “a slender variety of U. chrysantha, with 
the middle lobe of the lip nearly entire.” He does not appear to have consulted either the 
drawing or the very careful description here reproduced, and it seems to me better for 
present purposes to follow Banks, Solander, and Brown, in regarding U. lava as a distinct 
species.

Of this species, Bentham says: “There is no specimen in the Banksian or 
in Brown’s herbarium that I can identify with it, nor indeed any in which I can 
discover the palate to be bearded or hairy as described.” A collation of the 
Banksian and Brownian MSS., however, makes it clear that Brown had in view the 
Plant here figured and described. There is but one specimen in the Banksian 
herbarium, which had been placed by J. J. Bennett with U. flava Br., and so- 
overlooked. 
Brown, in his MSS., has a clavis of the Australian species of Utricularia known 
to him, and it may be worth while to give from it the characters, in each case 
ascertained from type specimens, by which he distinguishes the present and two 
preceding species :— 
Labium inferius lacinia intermedia indivisa ‘ O. flava. 
Labium superius emarginatum, labium inferius lacinia intermedia biloba: calcar 
subulatum . 6 : 3 : : 3 : U. barbata. 
Labium superius bifidum, labium inferius lacinia intermedia bipartita; calcar- 
subulato-conicum 3 6 A . . P U. chrysantha.
