‘« Leaves opposite. Flowers hermaphrodite. Calyx campanu- 
late, deeply 4-toothed, much wrinkled when dry; teeth with narrow 
acuminate points. Corolla funnel-shaped with an exceedingly 
slender curved tube 3in. long, dilated upwards, swollen or 
slightly spurred about three-fourths of the way up at the com- 
mencement of the broadest part; throat campanulate ; limb 
2-lipped, upper lip of one narrow erect or suberect concave lobe ; 
lower lip of three nearly equal spreading rounded lobes, throat not 
tumid but having a few scattered hairs. Stamens 4, didynamous, 
inserted on the throat, included, the two lower the longest. Anthers 
2-celled, introrse. Style extremely slender, a little longer than 
the stamens, with a 2-lobed stigma. Ovary superior. Capsule 2- 
celled, loculicidal, included within the calyx. Seeds minute (cap-

linear-lanceolate, rarely ovate, acuminate, obscurely 3-nerved,

This is unknown to me, and in the absence of further information I have 
reproduced Mr. Armstrong’s original description. It agrees in so many points 
with the characters of Anagosperma that the suspicion arises that the two plants 
may prove identical. But if Mr. Armstrong’s description is correct it differs in 
the longer corolla-tube, the entire upper lip, and 2-lobed stigma. Mr. Arm- 
strong does not mention the number of ovules. 
Orper LV. LENTIBULARIE~. 
Herbs, either aquatic or growing in wet soil. Leaves in the 
terrestrial species radical, few or rosulate, entire; in the aquatic 
species more or less scattered, capillary and multifid. Flowers 
irregular, hermaphrodite, either solitary or several on a scapiform 
peduncle. Calyx inferior, 2-lipped or 4—5-partite. Corolla gamo- 
petalous, hypogynous, irregular, the tube usually produced into a 
spur or pouch, the limb 2-lipped, upper lip entire or 2-lobed, lower 
lip 3-5-lobed. Stamens 2, inserted at the base of the corolla-tube ; 
filaments usually broad, arched; anthers 1-celled. Ovary superior, 
globose, l-celled; style short and thick; stigma 2-lobed; ovules 
numerous, on a free central placenta. Fruit a capsule, either 
bursting irregularly or 2-4-valved. Seeds numerous, small ; 
albumen wanting ; embryo either undivided or with very short 
cotyledons.
