The accompanying illustration was made from a plant 
sent to Kew by Mr. C. Ford, I.8.0., from the Hong Kong 
Botanic Garden, in 1894, with the information that it was 
obtained from the Island of Hainan. 
The plants cultivated at Kew, under the name of 
N. obrieniana, are not specifically distinguishable from 
N. Phyllamphora, but it is also true that they do not 
resemble the highly-coloured figure of the original in the 
* Illustration Horticole,”’ vol. xxxvi. p. 109, t. 116.
