Drosera BULBOSA, 
Radice bulbosa tunicata nitida, caule simplici squamoso, foliis 
terminalibus obovato-cuneatis erectis (parvis), pedunculis 
Congestis unifloris foliis subduplo longioribus.

The root of this has the appearance of a true bulb, and is of 
the size of that of our common Crocuses, externally consisting 
of a number of dark brown glossy layers or coats, not tinging 
the paper with a purple dye as do the tuberous roots of this 
Genus. The stem is scarcely three inches high, rather thick, 
and clothed with jagged brown scales, probably the remains of 
~ former leaves. The perfect leaves are few in number, eight or 
ten, confined, as in the preceding species, to the apex, small, — 
y 
gin with glandular hairs. From within these arise 2—8 or 10 
single-flowered peduncles, about twice as long as the leaves, and 
48 well as the calyx quite glabrous. 
This comes ae: the “D. erythrorhiza, Lindl, in Sw. R. 
Veget, P- xx. z. 90; but that has the flowers in a pedunculated 
fyme and the leaves much broader. In our present Plant, 
however, the foliage is evidently young; in some specimens, 
Teceived from Mr Drummond since the figure was made, the 
“aves are large and conceal more of the peduncles.
