bottom, in order to prevent dust settling' upon it. The pitchers 

 are large for the size of the plant, measuring from one inch 

 and a half to two inches in length, green at first, but afterwards 

 becoming strongly marked with dark brown, the lid also is very 

 strongly marked, at times, with dark brownish stripes, giving it 

 altogether the appearance almost of a Cypripedium ; it is desir- 

 able to shift it frequently (but not into too large pots), as owing 

 to its requiring so much moisture, it is then apt to become 

 soured, — the finest plant we ever saw of it having perished 

 from this cause.
