444 UTRICULARIA MULTIOCAULIS. Cuap. XVIIL 
project straight forward; they are united for a short 
space at their bases by a membrane; and they bear a 
moderate number of bristles or hairs, not simple as 
heretofore, but surmounted by glands. The bladders 
also differ remarkably from those of the previous specics, 
as within there are no quadrifid, only bifid, processes, 
In one bladder there was a minute aquatic larva; 
in another the remains of some articulate animal; 
and in most of them grains of sand. 
Utricularia cwrulea (India).—The bladders re- 
semble those of the last species, both in the general 
character of the antenne and in the processes with- 
in being exclusively bifid. They contained remnants 
of entomostracan crustaceans. 
Utricularia orbiculata (India).—The orbicular leaves 
and the stems bearing the bladders apparently float iv 
water. The bladders do not differ much from those oJ 
the two last species. The antennw, whick are united 
for a short distance at their bases, bear on their outer 
surfaces and summits numerous, long, multicellular 
hairs, surmounted by glands. The processes within 
the bladders are quadrifid, with the four diverging 
arms of equal length. The prey which they had 
captured consisted of entomostracan crustaceans. 
Utricularia multicaulis (Sikkim, India, 7000 to 
11,000 feet).— The bladders, attached to rhizomes, 
are remarkable from the structure of the antenna. 
These are broad, flattened, and of large size; they 
bear on their margins multicellular hairs, surmounted 
ly glands. Their bases are united into a single, 
rather narrow pedicel, and they thus appear like a 
great digitate expansion at one end of the bladder. 
Internally the quadrifid processes have divergent arms 
of equal length. The bladders contained remnants of 
articulate animals.
