17. U. Mannii, Oliver in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 149. A dwarf,. 

 delicate, terrestrial, tuberous perennial ; tuber globose, about 2 lin. in 

 diam., producing a filiform erect scape from the base of which spring a 

 solitary leaf and several rhizoids ; rhizoids subverticillate, 2 approxi- 

 mately on a level with the leaf and 3 in a whorl close above them, finely 

 filiform, simple or sparingly branched. Leaf ligulate or spathulate, 

 obtuse, long attenuated into a slender petiole of about the same length 

 as the blade, which is about 1 in. long and up to 2 lin. broad. Pitchers 

 few, on the rhizoids, inverted, ovoid to subglobose, slightly over \ lin. 

 long ; upper lip divided to the base into 2 linear or horn-shaped tentacles- 

 more or less recurved over the narrow orifice ; lower lip 0. Scape 3- 

 3Jf in. long ; scales few to about 7, subulate, up to 1 lin. long. Flowers 

 1-2; bracts and bracteoles subequal, subulate, 1 lin. long; pedicel 

 filiform, up to 34 lin. long, at length deflexed. Sepals very unequal;, 

 upper narrowly ovate, acute, up to 24 lin. long ; lower elliptic, obtuse, 

 14 lin. long. Corolla not seen in a perfect condition ; upper lip (accord- 

 ing to Oliver} erect, suboblong, obtuse, entire, slightly exceeding the 

 upper sepal ; lower lip (according to Oliver) flabelliform-cuneate, entire ; 

 spur conic, obtuse, descending, 2 4 lin. long. Anthers \ lin. long; 

 filaments linear, \ lin. long. Pollen depressed-globose, with only 3 

 pores. Stigmas subsessile ; upper lip very short and broad ; lower lip-

18. U. bryophila, Iiidlsy in Ann. Bot. ii. 306. A dwarf, delicate, 

 epiphytic, tuberous perennial. Tuber globose, about 2 lin. in diam., 

 producing one or two filiform erect scapes, from the base of which 

 spring a solitary leaf and several rhizoids. Rhizoids subverticillate, 

 long, simple or with few very short branches. Leaf lanceolate, or 

 narrowed from below the middle and linear to the upper part, obtuse, 

 cuneate at the base ; blade up to f in. long and to If lin. broad ; 

 petiole 2-3 lin. long, very slender. Pitchers numerous, along the 

 rhizoids, globose-ovoid, inverted, slightly over \ lin. long ; upper lip 

 deeply divided into 2 short horn-shaped tentacles curving over the 

 narrow orifice ; lower lip 0. Scape over 1 in. long ; scales 5-8, subu- 

 late, ^ lin. long. Flowers solitary ; bracts and bracteoles subequal, 

 subulate, \~\ lin. long : pedicel filiform, 2^-4 lin. long. Sepals very 

 unequal ; upper narrowly ovate, acute, over 2 lin. long ; lower oblong- 

 elliptic, obtuse, 1^ lin. long. Corolla over 6 lin. long (from the tip of
