wings toothed and fringed; mouth ovate, acute, prolonged

“ Gardeners’ Chronicle,” there has been a good deal of con- 
fusion as to the true Nepenthes Veitchii, which, however, is well 
figured by Sir Joseph Hooker, in his monograph, in the Linnzan 
Transactions.” Among other plants misnamed N. Veitchii, the 
subject of this note, must be included, ny pome oversight, the 
piste in the Illustration Horticole ” [1876, 261] bears the name of 
. lanata, while the accompanying text is headed N. Veitchii, and 
the description given applies to that species.
