anther-head globose with about 20 anthers. The fruiting panicle is 20 cm. long and 

 about 11 cm. through. The peduncle is stout, over 20 cm. long and 4 mm. thick. The 

 capsule is 3"5 cm. long, the segments lanceolate, acuminate at both ends, 4 mm. across, 

 inside smooth and strongly keeled, outside at first covered with red pubescence ; when 

 that is fallen they are seen to be pitted. The perianth remains deflexed.

This is allied to N. neo-guineensis, but has a distinct keel and a short process in the 

 upper part of the operculum resembling that of N. maxima, but much smaller. The 

 glands of the operculum, too, are much smaller than those of N. neo-guineensis, and 

 there are no ciliate ridges on the pitchers as in that species ; the form of the leaves, too, 

 is peculiar, the blade dilating rather abruptly from a winged petiole into an oblanceolate 

 form, widest towards the top, then suddenly narj'owing into the tendril. The pitchers 

 appear to have been green, stained above and on the lid with purple.
