Oliver has suggested that the colour of the corolla in this species is yellow, and the 
fact that Bidley has mixed it (under his n. 1481) with U. bifida might be taken as cor- 
roborating Oliver’s opinion. Bidley, in his paper on the Malay Peninsula TJtricularias, 
says, however, that the flowers are pink. 
10. Utricularia racemosa, Wall. ; var. filicaulis, Clarke in Plor. 
Brit. Ind. IV. 333. A slender herb of damp places. Leaves linear 
or spathulate, absent at time of flowering ; roots fibrous, bladders not 
seen. Scapes erect, very slender, 2 to 4 in. high, rarely higher, rather 
rigid, occasionally with a few branches, glabrous ; beset with a few 
ovate scales or empty bracts acute at both ends and produced below 
point of attachment. Flowers few scattered sessile ; bracts and 
bracteoles ovate-lanceolate, attached above the base. Calyx 2-lobed, 
lobes sub-equal, the upper slightly the longer, obtuse, '1 in. long in 
flower, in fruit -12 in. long. Corolla white, from -15 to - 2 in. across ; 
spur straight, conical [or sub-cylindric, longer than lower lip of corolla. 
Capsule globose, -1 in. long, hidden by the adpressed calyx-lobes. Seeds

This plant probably quite deserves to be considered a species distinct from 
U. racemosa , though except in its usually smaller size and its white instead of blue 
flowers, there is little to distinguish the two. 
11. Utricularia ophirensis, Eidl. Journ. Bot. XXXIII. 10. A 
herb. Leaves linear-spathulate or spathulate, absent at time of flowering ; 
roots fibrous ; bladders not seen. Scapes erect 8 to 16 in. high, slender, 
rigid, often branching, glabrous ; beset with a few ovate scales or 
empty bracts acute at both ends and produced below point of attach- 
ment. Flowers sessile, clustered at the ends of the stems and branches 
in globose or oblong heads '3 to - 5 in. long, - 25 in. across; bracts and 
bracteoles ovate-lanceolate, attached above the base. Calyx 2-lobed, 
lobes sub-equal, the upper slightly the larger, obtuse, '1 in. long in 
flower, in fruit -12 in. long. Corolla -25 in. across, variable in colour, 
the lower lip rose-coloured {Bidley), both lips- blueish with a yellow
