330 cv. LENTIBULARIE^. (C. B. Clarke.) [Utricularia. 



inflexed towards the concave face, minutely crenulate. This species, much confused 

 with species of other sections, is distinguishable by the globose (not compressed ovate) 

 capsule, distinctly exceeding the sepal?. The capillary bladder-bearing leaves are 

 often absent in dried specimens ; and similar small leaves occur in vegetative states of 

 many of the so-called leafless species. 



5. U. minor, Linn. ; Reichb. Ic. Fl. Germ. 1. 1826, fig. 1 ; corolla yellow, 

 spur less than half as long as the lower corolla-lip, capsule globose as long 

 as the calyx. Lamk.Jll.i. 14, fig. 2 ; A. DC. Prodr. viii. 7; Oliver in

ALPINE W. HIMALAYA; Nubra, alt, 11,000 ft., Thomson. DISTEIB. Europe, 

 W. and Central Asia. 



Stems often 4-12 in., leafy. Peduncles 3-9 in., 2-8-fld. ; usually minutely brac- 

 teate. Corolla ^ in. ; lower lip much longer than the upper. There are examples 

 from the W. Himalaya and Alpine Sikkim, which may be referable to this species ; 

 but being flowerless, they are doubtful. 



** Leaves at the base of the scape linear or spathulate, often evanescent 

 before flowering. Calyx-lobes equal or nearly so. Seeds smooth, testa 

 reticulate. 



j" Scales of the scape and bracts attached by their bases. 

 Flowers purple, blue, or whiteish.
