Oliver has suggested that the colour of the corolla in this species is yellow, and the 

 fact that Eidley has mixed it (under his n. 1481) with V. bifida might be taken as cor- 

 roborating Oliver's opinion. Eidley, in his paper on the Malay Peninsula Utricularias, 

 says, however, that the flowers are pink.

This plant probably quite deserves to be considered a species distinct from 

 U. racemosa, though except in its usually smaller size and its white instead of blue 

 flowers, there is little to distinguish the two. 



11. Utriculaeia ophieensis, Eidl. Journ. Bot. XXXIII. 10. A 

 herb. Leaves linear-spathulate or spathulate, absent at time of flowering ; 

 roots fibrous; bladders not seen. Scapes erect 8 to 16 in. high, slender, 

 rigid, often branching, glabrous ; beset with a few ovate scales or 

 empty bracts acute at both ends and produced below point of attach- 

 ment. Flowers sessile, clustered at the ends of the stems and branches 

 in globose or oblong heads "3 to "5 in. long, -25 in. across; bracts and 

 bracteoles ovate-lanceolate, attached above the base. Calyx 2-lobed, 

 lobes sub-equal, the upper slightly the larger, obtuse, "1 in. long in 

 flower, in fruit '12 in. long. Corolla -25 in. across, variable in colour,
