in. lougj the floral ones mostly 3-fid only. Flowers in the uppermost axils, 

 sometimes not exceeding the* floral leaves, sometimes nearly twice as long\ 

 Calyx 2 to nearly 3 lines long, the lobes obtuse, shorter than the tube. Co- 

 rolhi-tube about as long as the calyx, the lower lip as long as the tube, the 

 lobes emarginate. Anthers either quite glabrous or very sparingly hirsute 

 along the lino of dehiscence of the cells. Capsule oval-oblong, as long as 

 the calyx, slightly notched. Seeds fcAV.— ^. aha, F. Muell. in Trans. Hiit.

The species is al-^o in New Zealand, Fuegia. and S. Chili. As in New Zealaad. some of 

 the dwarf specimeus of ^ to 1 iii. have the flowers, and especially the calyxes, much 

 smaller. . - . , 



Order LXXXIY. LENTIBULARIE^. 



Calyx free, with 2 to 5 segments lobes or teetli. Corolla UTCgular, the 

 tube usually projecting into a spur or pouch at the base, the limb 2-lippe{L 

 Stamens 2, included in the tube and inserted at its base. Anthers 1-celletl. 

 Ovary superior, l-cel!ed, with several ovules attached to a free central pla- 

 centa. Style short, with a 2-lipped stigma. Fruit a capsvde. Seeds small, 

 ofteu mimite, the testa usually reticukte, without albnmeu. Embryo with 

 very short cotyledons or apjiarently undivided.— Herbs either aquatic or 

 growing in marslies or wet places' Leaves radical or floating or none. 

 Flovvers solitary or several in a raceme, on leafless radical or termiual scapes 

 or peduncles. • ■ 



The Order, comprishi- tut very few -cnera, is dispersed over tlie greater part of the globe. 

 Of the two Australiau genera, one, the principal one of the Order, occupies its %vholR area ; 

 ♦he other, dismembered from it by a purely artificial character, is endemic.

1. TTTRICULABIA, Linn. 



Calyx deeply divided into 2 lobes or segments. Corolla with a spur at 

 tl'e base rarely reduced to a small protuberance, the mouth of the tube 

 usually closed or nearly so bv a convex palate, the upper lip erect, broad, 

 entire, sinuate or 2-lobed, the'lower usually longer and broader, entire or o- 

 wbed (rarely 2-lobed or 4-lobed by the suppression or division of the middltJ 

 lo^, with the lobes refiexed or the whole lip spreading horizontally, with a 

 f'oiivex palate at tlie base, ofteu bearing a small 3-lobed protuberance. Cap- 

 sule globular, opening in 2 valves.— Herbs either floating with submerged 

 '■oot-like leaves divided iuto capillary segments and interspersed with little 

 vesicles or bladders full of air, or maVsh plants either leafless or with entire 

 pifHcal leaves. Peduncles or scapes radical or axdlary. Flowers solitary or 

 "1 a raceme, alternate or opposite, with a small scale-like bract under each 

 P^'^icel and sometimes 1 or very few similar minute scales on the scape bebw 

 fte flowers. Bracteoles in many species 2 at the base of the pedicels, but 

 ^*^''y minute and often coucealed within the bract.
