PLANT NOTES FOR IQIO, ETC. 
51:7 
specimens in good ilower being gathered by me near the Gap 
of Dunloe, Co. Kerry, in 1875. I may add that although I have 
examined Loch Spynie, the Moss of Inshoch and Gordon Bog 
(where I found U. minor'), I was unable to find Bremii\ near the 
Loch of Spynie, young barren major was seen. If our members 
will carefully collect the Bladder-worts for a season or so there is 
good reason to believe that some of the old records may prove 
to be correct. Flowering specimens should if possible be put in 
spirit, notes on the flower in the fresh state being first made. 
U. Bremii. 10? .? Betn. Horringford and Kewchurch L ii? 
Titchfield Common. 81? Gordon Bog. 85? Loch of Spynie 
and Moss of Inshoch. All lowland stations. 
Dr. Gliick says the characters which distinguish Bremii from 
mhior are specific, this species bearing much the same relation to 
U. minor as U. major does to U. vulgaris. The larger flowers 
of a darker yellow, with a much larger lip which stares at one, 
are easy marks of distinction, but in the barren state a greater 
or less amount of development of leaf-segments and a more sparing 
development of bladders are not sufficient for separation, although 
such an appearance may be suggestive. 
As to the leaf-characters of the Utriculariae one may add that 
our British plants may be divided into three groups by the number 
of the leaf-tips: (i) very numerous vulgaris ■xwA 7 najor \ (2) 7-15 
infertnedia and oehroleuca ; (3) 14-20 minor and Bremii. 
Since writing this account of the Utricularias, Dr. Gliick 
has kindly drawn up the valuable Latin diagnoses of group B, 
which are here appended ; he emphasises the impossibility of 
distinguishing sterile conditions of U. Bremii and U. minor-, 
hence the British records of the former based on barren plants 
appear to be conjectural. 
Group B, by Dr. Hugo Gluck. 
U. minor, L. 
Caules submersi virides 8-50 cm. longi ; folia rotundata, late 
elliptica vel reniforma ; 3-18 mm. longa et. 4-20 mm. lata; dicho- 
toma in 7-22 lacinias lineatas ; gerentia 1-7 utriculos. 
• Townsend (‘FI. Hants,’ 329) says he gathered this also in 1879. It was 
not in flower, ‘and is certainly a coarser plant than any U. mUtor which I have 
seen, and differs from it in general appearance.’
