which characters the elder Reichenbach founded the genus 

 Brandonia. A. Gray, indeed, suggests the possibility 

 of the var. edentula being a hybrid with P. pumila, 

 Michx., a species with pale violet flowers varying to 

 white, a native of the same localities as P. lutea, and in 

 which the corolla limb is more regular than in the com- 

 mon form of that organ in the genus, though still distinctly 

 two-lipped; but besides the colour of the flowers, the base 

 of the corolla of that plant is saccate and the capsule 

 globose. 



The late Mr. Nuttall was the first to send P. lutea to 

 England, in 1816, where it was flowered by Messrs. 

 Colville in their nurseries, King's Road, Chelsea; their 

 plants, however, did not attain half the size of these here 

 figured, which were obtained by the Royal Gardens from 

 the United States Botanical Garden of Washington. They 

 were received in March, and flowered in the following May 

 of this year, under the same treatment as Sarracenias and 

 Cape Droseras. — J. D. H.
