• This very handsome and distinct species of Nepenthes appears to be 

 quite local. Kew has possessed H. J. Merton's specimen, represented 

 on plate 2815, ever since 1878, and it was only after this had been 

 drawn and lithographed that a very fine set of spechnens of the 

 same species was received on loan from Calcutta. It is named in 

 compliment to my friend Professor Macfarlane, formerly of Edinburgh, 

 now of Philadelphia, who has for many years made a special study of 

 the Nepenthaceae and Sarraceniaceae, — W. Bottixg Hemsley.
