Found on the Continent (France). 



Obs. — The most curious character about this plant is the 

 inner upper enclosed horseshoe-shaped lobe which Dr. Gottsche 

 was the first to observe, and who seemed to think it had some 

 function which we do not understand, for in an allied Lejeiinea 

 from the Straits of Magellan, the inner structure of which was 

 very similar to our species, he found in the pouch-like lobe the 

 chitinous remains of many small animals which had been unable 

 to find their way out of this trap-like arrangement. 



A closer investigation of this species will reward the student 

 with particulars which are hardly to be expected in a work of 

 mere descriptive botany. 



As will be seen from the description and drawings, it is a 

 species which cannot be confounded with any other British one.
