1.8. Genlisea uncinata P.Taylor & Fromm , Bradea 3(41): 365 (1983). [ Figs. 2 and 6H ].

Terrestrial or helophyte. Scape, bracts, bracteoles, pedicels and sepals densely covered with eglandular and longstalked glandular trichomes. Thick and succulent scape. Strongly circinate pedicels in fruits. Purple corolla, yellow and gibbous palate, glandular lips, trilobed lower lip, glandular and uncinate spur, longer than the lower lip and parallel to the pedicel. Bivalvate capsule, covered with glandular trichomes.

Selected material:— Abaíra, Catolés, Serra dos Cristais , 20 May 1999, fl. and fr., V.C. Souza 22881 ( ESA) ; Mucugê, Serra do Sincorá, 19 March 1988, fl. and fr., R.M. Harley 20980 ( CEPEC holotype, K, NY, P, R, U isotypes); Piatã, trilha para o Campo da Mutuca , 16 July 2005, fl. and fr., V.F.O. de Miranda 1284 ( JABU) .

Comments:— Genlisea uncinata can be readily distinguished from the other purple/lilac flowered congeners in Bahia by its thick and succulent scape, strongly circinate pedicels in fruits and uncinate spur, parallel to the pedicel. Before the record of G. lobata reported for the state ( Guedes et al. 2018), this species together with G. exhibitionista were considered the northernmost occurrence of any member of G. subgen. Tayloria ( Fleischmann 2012) . Genlisa uncinata is endemic to the highest summits of the Chapada Diamantina highlands.
