1.4. Genlisea guianensis N.E.Br. in Hook., Icones Plantarum 27: t. 2629 (1900). [ Figs. 1 and 6D ].

Terrestrial or helophyte. Glabrous scape, sparsely eglandular bracts, bracteoles and sepals. Slightly thick and flexible scape. Ascending pedicels in fruits, covered with eglandular, rarely mixed with long-stalked glandular, trichomes. Lilac corolla, lilac or white and gibbous palate, glabrous lips, trilobed lower lip, glabrous or sparsely eglandular and obtuse spur, longer than and parallel to the lower lip. Circumscissile capsule, covered with eglandular trichomes.

Selected material: — Barreiras , Sumpf Rio das Femmeas, s.d., P. von Luetzelburg s.n. (M); Formosa do Rio Preto, VIII-1912, fr., P. von Luetzelburg 22 (M), ibid., s.d., fl. and fr., P. von Luetzelburg 65 (M) .

Comments:— Genlisea guianensis can be readily distinguished from the other lilac/purple flowered congeners in Bahia by its ascending pedicels in fruits, spur parallel to the lower corolla lip and capsule covered exclusively with eglandular trichomes. This is the only lilac flowered member of G. subgen. Genlisea in Brazil. Genlisea guianensis has records only from areas of veredas in the state.
