LXXXVII. SCROPHULARINE^. 
[Euphrasia. 
2. E. scabra (rough), R. Br. Prod. 437 ; Benth. FI. Austr. iv. 521. An 
erect, rigid, simple or branched annual of J to 1ft., scabrous-pubescent and not 
drying so black as E. collina and its allies. Leaves oblong-lanceolate, with a few 
teeth more prominent and less obtuse than in E. collina, and the upper ones 
often acute, the stem-leaves rarely above ^in. long, the floral ones narrow and 
more entire, the uppermost linear. Flowers yellow and scarcely or not at all 
streaked, in terminal spikes at first dense but at length often long and inter- 
rupted. Calyx narrow, glandular-pubescent, the lobes almost acute. Corolla- 
tube exceeding the calyx and dilated at the top, but not so much so as in E. 
collina, and the lobes very much shorter and entire, the whole corolla usually 
about fin. long. Anthers very hairy. — Benth. in DC. Prod. x. 554 ; Hook. f. 
FI. Tasm. i. 297 ; Bartl. in PI. Preiss. i. 348. 
Hab.: Between Stanthorpe and the border of N. S. Wales. 
Order LXXXYIII. LENTIBULARIEjE. 
Calyx free, with 2 to 5 segments lobes or teeth. Corolla irregular, the tube 
usually projecting into a spur or pouch at the base, the limb 2-lipped. Stamens 
2, included in the tube and inserted at its base. Anthers 1 -celled. Ovary 
superior, 1 -celled, with several ovules attached to a free central placenta. Style 
short, with a 2-lipped stigma. Fruit a capsule. Seeds small, often minute, the 
testa usually reticulate, without albumen. Embryo with very short cotyledons 
or apparently undivided. — Herbs either aquatic or growing in marshes or -wet 
places. Leaves radical or floating or none. Flowers solitary or several in a 
raceme, on leafless radical or terminal scapes or peduncles. 
The Order, comprising but very few genera, is dispersed over the greater part of the globe. 
1. UTRICULARIA, Linn. 
(From utriculus, a little bladder.) 
Calyx deeply divided into 2 lobes or segments. Corolla with a spur at the 
base rarely reduced to a small protuberance, the mouth of the tube usually closed 
or nearly so by a convex palate, the upper lip erect, broad, entire, sinuate or 
2-lobed, the lower usually longer and broader, entire or 3-lobed (rarely 
2-lobed or 4-lobed by the suppression or division of the middle lobe), with the 
lobes reflexed, or the whole lip spreading horizontally, with a convex palate at 
the base, often bearing a small 3-lobed protuberance. Capsule globular, opening 
in 2 valves. — Herbs either floating with submerged root-like leaves divided into 
capillary segments and interspersed with little vesicles or bladders full of air, 
or marsh-plants either leafless or with entire radical leaves. Peduncles or 
scapes radical or axillary. Flowers solitary or in a raceme, alternate or opposite, 
with a small scale-like bract under each pedicel and sometimes 1 or very few 
similar minute scales on the scape below the flowers. Bracteoles in many 
species 2 at the base of the pedicels, but very minute and often concealed within 
the bract. 
A considerable genus, dispersed over nearly the whole globe except the extreme north and 
south, and especially numerous within the tropics both in the New and the Old World, several 
species having a very wide range. The corollas, from which some of the chief specific 
characters are drawn, are indeed of so delicate a nature that it is exceedingly difficult to 
ascertain their precise form in dried specimens ; and it is to be feared that, in several of the 
following descriptions, slight inaccuracies may have crept in, which will have to be corrected 
chiefly from the examination of living plants. — Benth. 
Sect. 1 . Natantes . — Stems floating. Leaves submerged, divided into capillary segmetits 
mostly interspersed with bladders. Flowers yellow, on axillary peduncles. 
Peduncles bearing about the middle a cluster or false whorl of oblong or 
linear vesicles 1 . U. stellaris.
