Cuciillatum, hooded, when the edges meet 

 in the lower part, and expand in the

Appe?idiculatum 9 furnished with an addi^ 

 tional organ for some particular purpose 

 not essential to a leaf, as Dioncea mm-

 Brompton, whose leaves each terminate 

 in a pair of toothed irritable lobes, that 

 close over and imprison insects ; or Ne- 

 penthes distillatoria, Rumph. Amboin.
