Bottisham Fen. Henslow ann. l:12.
In the turf pits adjacent to the spot where we found Loeselii, [Bottisham Fen] was a profusion of both species of Utricularia. The smaller of these the Utricularia minor is a rare plant, & appears to be peculiarly attached to the same sort of soil as the M. Loeselii is,– since this is another instance of these two plants growing together, which I had heard of before as often being the case; insomuch that persons visiting a spot known to be the Habitat of the Utricularia minor, have made certain of finding the Malaxis Loeselii. This is a singular fact in the history of these plants, which, whether generally the case or not, certainly was so here. Jenyns,JNH,4.7.1825.
