I have followed Sir Joseph Hooker in the synonymy of 
this Nepenthes, as far as he goes, and Beccari as to 
including N. kennedyana; but I am not quite satisfied 
that some of the specimens, including N. macrostachya, B1., 
are correctly referred here. Miquel states that N. macro- 
stachya is very different, though he fails to give the 
distinctions, except that the pedicels are more than one- 
flowered. ‘he same author claims that N. fimbriata, BL., 
differs from N. Phyllamphora iu having ciliated leaves. 
Beccari makes two species, including N. jimbriata under N. 
macrostachya, and N. kennedyana under N. Phyllamphora; 
but he had seen no specimens either from China or Cochin 
China. In most of the Chinese specimens the pedicels are
