Utricularia longifolia, Gardn. Fig. 3888. A Brazilian species, perennial and densely tufted: lvs. lorate or linear-lanceolate, narrowed into a petiole, to 12 in. long: scape slender, reaching 2 ft., with fls. 10 or less. U. Forgetiana, Hort., intro. by Sander, is said to be a form of this species and the same as the plant figured in Gn. 52:142 (adapted in Fig. 3888) under the erroneous title of U. latifolia. It has beautiful violet-purple fls. nearly 2 in. across, with an orange palate. B.M. 8516. G.C. III. 13:713. The lvs. are singularly variable or plastic. Under favorable conditions, according to Prain, they may grow out into bladder-bearing stolons and may produce from their tips tufts of leaves and stolons and rhizoids. The species thrives under conditions suitable for nepenthes. CH
