2hin. in diameter, with a few stellate hairs ; wings rather broad, 
fringed with teeth; mouth obliquely ovate, bordered by a rim 
of purple or whitish ribs; lid purple, mottled on the lower

(G. C. n. s., xviii., p. 425.) 
N. Paradisz (Paradise Nurseries). Pitchers rich crimson, 
marked with pale green, very much narrowed in the centre, 
4in. to Sin. long, Zin. to 24in. broad at the widest part, the 
edge of the throat and the inside of the lid green, the outside

NEPHRODIUM. To the species and varieties 
described on pp. 440-4, Vol. II., the following should 
now be added: 
N, cristatum (crested). This resembles N. /iliz-mas, but the 
fronds are less erect; the pinniw less regular; the segments 
broader, thinner, more wedge-shaped on the lower side, much 
more toothed, and the lower ones sometimes almost pinnatitid, 
the plant then forming some approach to N. spinuloswm, from 
which it differs in the much narrower frond, with the segments 
much broader and much less divided. sori large, as in A, I'ilix- 
mas, With a conspicuous indusium, Wurope (Britain), &c. SynNs. 
Aspidium cristatum, Lastrea cristata, 
N. c. floridanum (Florida). fronds thickish, broadly lanceolate, 
pinnate, lft.'to 2ft. high ; sterile ones shorter, growing in a crown 
rom a thick, scaly rootstock. A vigorous form. 
N. Hopeanum (Lieut. Hope's). st. lin. to lin. long, grey, 
glossy, naked. fronds oblong-lanceolate, lft. long, 6in. to Tin. 
broad, bipinnatifid ; pinnie distant, sessile, caudate, the lower 
ones 3in. to 4in. long, gin. to jin. broad, cut down to a narrow 
wing into ligulate-falcate, entire lobes jin. broad; tip of frond 
like one of the pinne; rachis grey, slightly pubescent. sori 
crowded close to the midrib; involucre firm, persistent. 
Polynesia, 1883. Syn. Lastrea Hopeana. 
N. Jenmani (Jenman’s). sii. stout, scaly, erect. fronds bi- 
pinnate, about 2fc. long and Qin. to 12in. Lroad, densely pellucid- 
dotted. Jamaica, 1887. Syn. Lastrea Jenmani. 
N. lepidum (pretty). s/i. green, setose on the margins of the 
groove down the face. fronds ovate, acuminate ; pinnz alternate, 
very shortly stalked, lanceolate, acuminate, pinnatifid, the 
central ones longest, glabrous, with hairy midribs and setose 
margins. sori placed near the midribs on each side, with in- 
flated, roundish-reniform, lead-coloured, hairy indusia., 1886. 
An elegant Fern, Syn. Lastrea lepida. 
N. mamillosum (nippled). This species closely resembles 
N. decurrens ; but the pinnze are undivided, and the sori are 
so deeply immersed as to make the upper surface appear as 
if covered with minute nipples. Moluccas, 1886, SYN. Sagenia 
mamillosa (I. H. 1886, 598). 
N. molle Sangwellii (Sangwell’s). A graceful variety, of free 
growth, very ornamental for pots or for the rockery, 1884. 
N. montanum Barnesii (Barnes’). fronds much narrower than 
in the type. A pretty variety. 
N. m, coronans (crowned). A finely crested variety ; the apex 
of the frond is developed into a large, crispy tuft, and the apices 
of the pinne have smaller, roundish, crispy ones. 1882, 
N. prolificum (prolific). fronds rigid, deltoid, bipinnate, deep 
green, gemmiparous in the axils of the segments and on the 
margins; pinne rather distant, obliquely ovate-lanceolate, the 
posterior side most developed; pinnules unequal, but usually 
linear, acute, and somewhat falcate. sori numerous, large, reni- 
form, distributed over the whole back of the frond, covered by 
prominent indusia, Japan, 1883. An interesting, hardy, ever- 
green lern. 
N. Richardsi multifida (much-cleft). A fine, free-growing, 
crested variety, useful for decorative purposes. 
N. spinulosum dilatatum dentigera (tooth-bearing). fronds 
slender, lanceolate, 6in. to 8in. long ; pinnules about lin. long, 
ovate, acute, cut into two to four lobes, which have one or two 
short teeth. Inverness-shire, 1886. A neat and pretty variety, of 
dwarf habit. 
NEPHROLEPIS. ‘To the species and varieties 
described on pp. 444-6, Vol. II., the following should 
now be added: 
N. Bausei (Bause’s). fronds numerous, erect, more than lft. 
high, leafy from their base, and of a soft, bright green ; pinne 
bipinnatifid. 1885. An ornamental Fern, of dense habit, suit- 
able for basket culture. Garden variety. 
N. rufescens (reddish). Of this ferruginous-tomentose variety 
there is a form in which the pinne overlap one another and are 
cut down, especially on the lower side, into deep, lanceolate 
segments, which (in the specimen figured in G, C. ser. iii., 
vol. i., pp. 477, 481) are merely serrated, “but in a frond which 
lies before us [tripinnatijida] are again pinnatifid” (J. G. Baker). 
1887. A free-growing, handsome Fern, either for pot culture, or 
for planting out ina warm house. See Vig. 43, for which we are 
indebted to Messrs. W. and J, Birkenhead. 
NEPHTHYTIS. ‘To the species described on p. 446, 
Vol. II., the following should now be added: 
N. picturata (pictured). J. spreading, 6in. to 12in, long, Sin. to 
Jin. broad, broadly ovate-hastate, deeply cordate at base with 
a rhomboid sinus, cuspi uminate at apex, variegated with 
white in a pattern resembling the tips of Fern fronds laid 
between the nerves; petioles 10in. to 12in. long, terete, erect, 
green. Congo, 1887. Stove perennial. See Fig. 44, p. 574, for

broader leaves. 1885. 
N. Manselli (Mansell’s). /. bright rose-red, ten to twenty in 
an umbel. J. bright green, jin. broad, 1¢86. A fine hybrid 
between N. flexuosa and N. curvifolia.
