A new Utricularia from Long Island 
JoHN HENDLEY BARNHART 
(WITH PLATE 34) 
: One September day, six years ago, while I was walking along 
_ the shore of a small pond near Riverhead, on Long Island, I ob- 
_ served a small colony of plants of a terrestrial Utricularia. At 
_ first sight it appeared different from any species previously reported 
from the northeastern United States; as a careful study of the 
_ fresh material confirmed this view, another visit was made to the 
— locality a few days afterward and the plant collected as liberally 
"as consideration for the perpetuation of the single small patch 
would permit. The bladderworts, however, are very fickle, ap- 
_ pearing and disappearing in a given place from year to year, and 
several subsequent visits to the original locality have failed to bring 
s plant to light again. 
_ Although the species was apparently new, and careful notes 
had been made upon the fresh material and a fair quantity of her- 
barium material collected, publication was deferred in the hope that 
urther collections might be made. Two years later, Mr. Bicknell 
brought in from Woodmere, Long Island, for the herbarium of 
‘ the New York Botanical Garden, specimens of the same U*ricu- 
daria, in flower. Meanwhile my own material had been mislaid, 
and when it was located again, a few months ago, it seemed best 
no longer to delay the publication of the novelty.
