Sprengel credited his U. ancien eta ‘ foliis linearibus eho 
strictis persistentibus ;’ but from a specimen in Sonder’s herbari 
named U. Ecklonit by Sprengel himself, it appears that the ee aves 
described in this way were the leaves of a dwarf or seedling Cyperacea, 
with which the Utricularia had been growing. U. delicata 
seems to be merely a particularly dwarf state of U. Ecklonii, while 
Schlechter’s U. brachyceras is, in my opinion, a short-spurred state of 
the same species, rt s to the variety ‘brevicalcarata Oliv. of U. 
capensis. Schlechter’s specimens of U. brachyceras (see fig. 14) were 
collected on Packhuis Mountain, Clanwilliam Division. Drég nd 
the same form, together with the normal one, near Ellebogensfonteins- 
berg, Little Namaqualand.— —Orro Srapr
