The very similar and nearly allied U. stellaris, distinguished most easily by the 
presence of a cluster of oblong vesicles about the middle of the peduncle, has not been 
reported so far from the Malayan Peninsula. 
King’s Collector’s field-note on the slender form, which the writer agrees with Oliver 
in considering no more than a form of 17. flemiosa, is as follows : “ Herbaceous plant, 
in clear pools of fresh water ; colour bright green. Flowers pale yellow. I sent a 
similar one from Durian S. Batang, but I don’t think the same.” His field-note on 
genuine U. flexuom is as follows : “ Growing in muddy pools of water ; colour a dark 
reddish-brown, tinged with green ; flower bright yellow.” 
In his interesting paper on the XJtricularias of the Malay Peninsula (Journ. Bot. 
for 1895, pp. 10, 11) Mr. Ridley gives as localities for U. flexuom Pahang and Kedah, 
Langkawi, but does not differentiate the two forms. The leaves, he remarks, are used 
in medicine by the Malays, who call it Lumut Ekor Kuching (Cat’s Tail Moss) or Lumut 
Ekor Kuning (Yeflow Tail Moss) . 
3. Utricularia punctata, Wall. Cat. 2121. A floating water- 
weed, with submerged divided capillary leaves, the segments interspersed 
with bladders, often with narrow, oblong, floating vesicles 1 to 3 in. 
long, beset with capillary leaves, near the base of the scapes. Scapes 
4 to 12 in., usually many-flowered; pedicels slender, ascending or 
sub-erect in fruit, ultimately -5 to -6 in. long ; bracts ovate, more or less 
acute, slightly produced beyond base ; bracteoles 0. Calyx 2-lobed, 
lobes sub-equal, ovate-rotund, obtuse, -1 in. long. Corolla blue, reddish- 
purple or pink, -25 in. across, spur somewhat longer than lower calyx- 
lobe, shorter than lower lip of corolla, thick, sub-cylindric, obtuse. 
Capsule thin, ovate-oblong, obtuse, '2 in. long. Seeds discoid, peltate,
