330 cv. LBNTiBtiLARiBiB. (C. B. Clarke.) [Utricularia. 



inflexed towards the concave face, minutely crenulate. — This species, much confused 

 with species of other sections, is distinguishable by the globose (not compressed ovate) 

 capsule, distinctly exceeding the sepals.. The capillary bladder-bearing leaves are 

 often absent in dried specimens; and similar small. leaves occur in vegetative states of 

 many of. the so-called leafless species..

 from the W. Himalaya and Alpine Sikkim, which may be referable to this species j 

 but being flowerless, they are doubtful.

 reticulate.
