3. XJtricularia exoleta, R. Br. Prodr. (1810) p. 430. A small 

 aquatic herb floating in water or growing on liquid mud ; stolons varying 

 in length, brauched, the branches often fascicled, very slender, flattened. 

 Lea\es variable, rarely more than | iu. long, very sparingly dissected, 

 the segments normally capillary, but sometimes 1 or several of them 

 represented by bladders, or sometimes the whole leaf represented by a 

 bladder ; bladders -^-^ in. long or less, obliquely ovoid, the mouth nearly 

 apical, truncate and with slender branched rather long cilia. Flowers 

 in 2-3-flowered (often reduced to a single flower) racemes ; peduncles 

 1^-3 in. long, with a minute bract or scale usually below the middle ; 

 bracts below the pedicels membranous, -^ in. long, broadly ovate, 

 truncate or rounded ; pedicels ^-5 iu. long, slender, permanently 

 obliquely erect. Calyx Jg in. long ; sepals subequal, broadly elliptic, 

 obtuse, membranous, not conspicuously veined, scarcely enlarged in 

 fruit. Corolla yellow with omnge streaks, i- 1 in. long ; upper lip

 or slightly longer than the lower lip. Capsules globose, ^-^ in. in diam. 

 Seeds about -^q in. in diam., orbicular, flat, surrounded by a more or less
