This species, which is here sustained on the authority of Mr. Eidley, who knows 

 well the Malayan Utricidarias in the field, does not differ very greatly from U. racemosa, 

 Wall. ; not so much indeed as does the variety filicaidis previously described. It 

 matters Uttle whether the three forms are considered specifically distinct or are 

 treated as manifestations of one protean species. A drawing by Mr. Eidley shows 

 pink flowers.
