Notes
U. Ecklonii was described by Sprengel from a specimen growing in a tuft of leaves belonging to some minute or seedling plant of Cyperaceæ, whence the description of the leaves as “linear, acute, strict, persistent.” There is in the Kew Herbarium a to this effect by Oliver, who saw a specimen named by Sprengel himself in Sonder's herbarium. This was collected near Caledon. The same combination occurs also in a specimen collected by Zeyher and named by Sprengel “ U. capensis .” The description of U. Lehmanni, Benj., fits so exactly U. Ecklonii, that I have no hesitation in identifying it with that species. U. delicata, Kamienski, appears to me to be merely a particularly dwarf state. Schlechter, in Engl. Jahrb. xxvii. 191, described Utricularia brachyceras, collected by him on Pakhuis Mountain, at 2500 ft. (No. 8601!). It seems to be an exact parallel to U. capensis, var. brevicalcarata, Oliv., and to stand in the same relation to U. Ecklonii, as that variety to U. capensis, viz. as a short-spurred sport. The same state was also collected by Drège near Ellebogen-fonteinsberg, together with an almost normal long-spurred form. Kamienski also mentions a U. exilis, var. arenaria (l.c., 98) from the Cape (Wawra, 123), quoting as a synonym of it Decandolle's U. arenaria, a Senegambian plant. I have not seen it, but suspect strongly that it is U. Ecklonii.
