River; I also found it in a small damp spot on the ridge
between Wray's Camp and Skeat's Camp.
127. Utricularia aurea, n. sp.
Leaves several in a tuft, linear, lorate, obtuse, ^ inch long,
narrow, bright green. Stem 1 inch to i^ inch tall, stouter
than in the other species, purple, with 2 or 3 distant, bract-
like, linear, oblong-obtuse leaves i mm. long. Flowers i or 2.
half an inch long from the tip of the lip to the tip of the spur,
Bracts lanceolate-ovate, purplish or yellow. Calyx : upper
lobe broad, oblong-obtuse, lower one ovate, rather shorter,
obtuse, all yellow. Petals ovate, oblong-obtuse, curved up at
the tip, yellow, each with 2 fine brown streaks in the centre.
Lip semiorbicular, broad, a quarter of an inch across ; apex
broad, truncate, with three obscure lobes, two rounded with a
narrow tooth in the centre, two raised bars in the centre, and
three short brown streaks at the base. Spur thick at the base,
horn-shaped, curved, yellow, j3_ inch long.
•On peaty banks of streams among moss and hepatics
on the Padang. Just coming into flower at the time of our
visit and not very abundant. This pretty little species has the
biggest flowers of the three species here ; the whole flower is of
a rich orange-yellow with brown streaks on the petals and lip.
I do not know any species here at all allied to it.
*i28. Utricularia anthropophora, n. sp.
Utricularia orhiculata, Ridl. op. cit. p. 318.
Leaves in rosettes, orbicular or obovate, ^q inch across,
bright green ; petiole \ inch long. Branches with bladders,
axillary, an inch or less long, as thick as the petioles.
Bladders distant, elliptic-ovate, with two or three branched
processes at the mouth. Stem slender, 2 inches long, pale.
Upper sepal ovate, concave, much larger than the small lower
one, apex broad, truncate; lower one ovate, very small.
Petals linear, oblong-obtuse. Lip ^ inch long, base oblong,
apex four-lobed ; side-lobes spreading, oblong-obtuse, central
pair longer, oblong-obtuse, all violet with a yellow spot at
the base. Spur longer, horn-shaped, curved, violet, plender.
Very abundant, and forming tufts over an inch across
on rocks, with Jungermanniae etc. on rocks in streams on
the Padang, but only a few flowers met with. The form
and size of the lip vary somewhat, but when fully developed it
has much the form of that of Aceras anthropophora. The
leaves somewhat resemble those of U. orbicnlata, but are more
narrowed to the base. This must be the
U . orbiculata in the previous paper.
