The character, however, agrees well with the specimens descrihed above, which are named 

 by Solander in the Eanksian herbarium U.juncea, and with one in Brown's own herbarmm 

 labelled U, ohscura^ neither of which names are taken up by Bi'owu.

■ Characters and habit of Utriciilaria, except that the calyx, besides the two 

 fore-and-aft set^ments of that genus, has two additional inner lateral segments 

 alternating with them. — Marsh plants with radical leaves, leafless scapes and 

 racemose or solitary pink flowers, the bracts alternate and not produced at 

 the base. 



The genus is limited to the two W. Australian species. 



Scapes several inches to above 1 ft. high. Flowers rather large, the spur 



not half as long as the lower lip '. . . . 1. P. 7nul(iji 



Scapes usually under 3 in. Flowers small, the spur usually as long as 



the lower lip 2. P. tenella. 



. 1. p. multifida, F. Mnell. Fragm. vi. 162. Scapes sometimes filiform, 

 under 6 in. liigh, bearing only 2 or even a single piuk flower, sometimes 

 stouter, above 1 ft. high, with a loose raceme of 5 or 6 flowers. Leaves 

 radical, linear-spathulate, accompanied by filiform fibres, some of them bearing 

 utricles, but often all disappearing before the flowering. Bracts minute, ob- 

 tuse. Pedicels usually distant, filiform, varying in length, erect or spreadmg 

 in fruit. Calyx, outer segments rather unequal broad and obtuse, a little 

 more than 1 line long in flower, more or less enlarged in fruit ; inner ones 

 similar but considerably shorter. Corolla : upper lip scarcely exceeding the 

 calvx, deeply divided into 2 narrow usually acuminate lobes ; lower lip lai"ge 

 (Irom under i in. to fully f in. across according to the size of the flower), 

 more or less deeply divided into 3 obtuse retuse or bifid lobes, the palate 

 marked with a small digitately 5-lobed protuberance ; spur obtuse, not ha t 

 so long as the lower lip. Capsule membranous. Seeds vei-v numerous, pel- 

 tate.— ^Zj^ncw/ana multifida, E. Br. Prod. 432; A. DO.' Prod. viii. 18;
