1. U. viilgdris L. (greate?^ B.) ; spur conical straight obtuse 

 about half the length of the corolla, the upper lip of which is as 

 long as tl]rf projecting palate, sides of the lower lip recurved, 

 leaves pinnate-multifid remotely spinulose, vesicles attached to 

 the leaves. £, B. t. 253. 



Ditches and deep pools, not unfrequent. If.. 6, 7. — Roots much 

 branched. Shoots or runners floating horizontally in the water, clothed 

 with capillary multifid leaves, bristly at the margin and bearing little 

 crested bladders. Scape erect, 4 — 6 inches high, with G — 8 bright 

 vellow flowers in a raceme. Lower lip convex, much larger and 

 broader than the upper one, and having a projecting palate closing 

 the mouth. Spttr short, deflexed. Filaments curved, thick, resembling 

 those of Pinguicula, Anthers slightly cohering. Stigma large, ciliated. 



^ 2. U. intermedia Hayne {intermediate 5.), spur conical acute 

 pressed against the lower lip somewhat shorter than the corolla, 

 the upper lip of which is entire twice as long as the palate, 

 lower entire nearly flat, leaves tripartite their segments linear 

 dichotomous ciliated, vesicles on leafless branches. E. B.

6, 7. — This has probably been passed by as the U. vulgaris; but its 



flowers are fewer (only 2 or 3 on each scape), smaller, of a pale- 

 yellow, and have a longer upper lip. The stems are more leafy, and 

 the bladders arise from branched stalks, not from the leaves. It 

 propagates itself by buds or gemmae which proceed from the ends of 

 the shoots, and seldom flowers. At the season of flowering, however, 

 Mr. Borrer finds the vesicles all immersed in the mud, and the leafy 

 shoots floating under water. 



3. U. viinor L. (lesser B.) ; spur obtuse keeled deflexed much 

 shorter than the corolla, the upper lip of which is notched and 

 as long as the palate, lower lip obovate nearly flat, leaves 

 subtripartite, the segments linear dichotomous glabrous, vesicles 

 attached chiefly to the leaves. JS. B. t. 254. 



Ditches and pools, rare; not unfrequent in many parts of Scot- 

 land, extending its range even to Skye. 1\-. 6 — 9. — Smaller 

 than the last. Vesicles mixed with the leaves, which latter are glabrous 

 at the margin. Flowers very pale yellow, and small. Spur scarcely 

 any. Lower lip almost plane ; palate scarcely closing the mouth, 

 not projecting beyond the lip. Stigma glabrous*
