Frequent in SCOTL A N D and IRELAND. 
Perennial. — Flowers from June to September. 
Root very much branched. Ste;ns floating horizontally in the 
water, cylindrical, frequently a foot or more long, branched , leafy. 
Leaves alternate, thrice pinnatifid, the segments numerous, thread- 
shaped or bristle-like, fringed at the margin, and, like the roots, 
bearing small, beautiful, reticulated bladders, which are pear- 
shaped, but somewhat compressed ; with an aperture at the small 
end, from the edges of which arise three or four very slender fibres 
(see fig. 11). It is said that these bladders are at first filled wiih 
water, by which means the plant is kept at the bottom, until it is 
ready to flower, when the water gives place to air, and the plant 
rises to the surface, so that the flowers may unfold in the open air ; 
but when the time of flowering is over, and the seeds are approach- 
ing to perfection, the bladders become again filled with water, the 
whole plant sinks to the bottom, and the seeds are thus sown in 
their most fitting soil. Scape upright, rising 5 or 6 inches above 
the surface of the water, and bearing from 4 to 8 flowers, with a 
small, spear-shaped bractea at the base of each peduncle. Calyx 
permanent. Corolla large, bright yellow, with purplish-red 
streaks ; the palate projecting and closing the mouth. Spur bent 
downwards. The shoots are frequently terminated by gemmae or 
buds, of the size of a pea to that of an hazel-nut, and having the 
appearance of a roundish mass of short hair or wool. This is now 
the case in most of the plants of this species, in the aquarium of the 
Oxford Garden. (October 15, 1839.) 
The Natural Order, Lentibulari.u, is composed of small, her- 
baceous, marsh plants, with undivided and all radical leaves ; or 
aquatic plants with compound root-like leaves bearing bladders. 
The calyx is permanent and divided. The corolla monopetalous, 
irregular, 2-lipped, with a spur. The stamens, which are 2 in 
number, are inserted into the base of the corolla. The anthers are 
single. The ovary 1-celled. The style short. The stigma 2-lipped. 
And the capsule 1-celled, with a large central receptacle, bearing 
many seeds, which are very minute, and have no albumen. 
The only British genera in this order are Pinguicula, t. 109. and 
Utricularia, t. 349.
