S, Courtii (Court’s).* l, when young, bright crimson-purple from 
the middle upwards, reticulated with darker veins, changing 
with pee to deep blood-red, with blackish-purple veins. 1885. A 
_ beautiful hybrid between S. purpurea and S. psittacina. (R. G. 
1886, p. 29.) 
S, crispata (curled). 1. fully 3in. across ; petals white, drooping, 
recurved at the edges, l. erect, funnel-shaped ; lamina erectly 
arched and roundish, and, as well as the upper part of the tube, 
marked by longitudinal pencillings of red, forming a rather open 
reticulation. Possibly a natural or wild hybrid between S. flava 
and S. rubra. (I. H. xxvii. 387; G. C. n. s., xv. p. 633, and 
xvi. p. 9, under name of S. flava crispata.) : 
S. excellens (excellent). 7. green, becoming stained with close 
reticulations of purplish-red near the upper end, the pallid spots 
reddish exi ; lid roundish, arching, and, with the upper 
~ part of the tube, suffused and mottled with dark red. Habit

S. exculta (adorned). l. erect, with a narrowish wing, pale 
green below, the upper end, as well as the roundish, incurved, 
undulated lamina, strongly blotched with white and reticulated 
_ with crimson veins. Intermediate in character between S. flava 
atrosanguinea and S, Drummondii. 
S. exornata (ornamented). J. similar to those of S. purpurea, 
but more erect, slightly narrowed at the mouth, which is dark 
: parpi -red, revolute and glossy, the tube dark green, covered 
with purplish-red veins, the longitudinal ribs stout, with smaller 
and finer veins between ; lamina erect, ovate, wavy, the dark 
purple-red ribs running up through it and diverging. The mark- 
ing throughout is very bold and effective. Parents: S. purpurea 
and S. crispata. 
S. formosa (beautiful).* A hybrid between S. psittacina and 
S. variolaris. “The pitchers have more of the decumbent habit 
| of S. psittacina than of the erect growth of S. variolaris, and are 
about intermediate in length between those of the two parents. 
The broad, lateral wing is also intermediate in form, while the 
beak-like lid of the pitcher is — that of S. psittacina. 
All the upper portion of the pitcher has a bright crimson, reticu- 
lated nervation, with the characteristic white spotting of 
S. variolaris ; the basal portion is Po fulvous-green ” (Veitch).
