Utricularia cornuta Mich. Horned Bladderwort. 



PI. CXIL, Fig. 3- 



Utricularia cornuta Michaux, Fl. Bor. Am. L 12. 1803 [Canada].— Knies- 

 kern 22. — Britton 192. — Keller and Brown 294. 



Sandy swamps of the Pine Barrens ; frequent. 



The Utricularias are particularly characteristic of the New 

 Jersey pine barren bogs. Shallow ponds with sandy bottoms 

 and masses of aquatic vegetation floating in them are favorite 

 spots for the taller naked-stemmed species like this, U. jtmcea 

 and U. fibrosa, while the strictly floating forms are found in 

 deeper water in which great masses of living and decayed vege- 

 tation extend down for many feet. The present species is usually 

 almost or entirely devoid of leaves or bladders, but Mr. S. S. Van 

 Pelt collected a fine specimen at Toms River with a great mass 

 of slender, almost filiform, leaves attached to the base. Perhaps 

 they are present more frequently but detached in collecting. 



Pi. — Late June into August.
