paler beneath, and hairy glabrous above ; nerves ascending, 7 

 pairs, hairy beneath ; petiole short, stout. Flowers 1-4 on 

 pedicels, shorter than the leaves, slender, red, hairy. Bracts 

 lanceolate-acuminate, hairy, narrow. Sepals lanceolate-acu- 

 minate, sparsely hairy. Corolla campanulate, pubescent, pure 

 white (very rarely tinted violet)-, an inch long; lobes ovate, 

 regular, equal, obtuse. Stamens 2 ; anthers connivent, semi- 

 ovate, white; filaments short, sigmoid. Style longer, curved. 

 Stigma capitate. Capsule f inch long, ^q inch through, rather 

 broadly linear and woody. 



Very abundant in all the damp woods from the Gully 

 upwards. In one plant on the first Padang stream I found the 

 flowers of a violet colour, the other plants pure white. This 

 fine species is not clearly allied to any other known to me. It 

 is the largest species of the genus known to me, and remarkable 

 for its beautiful white bells.

P'lowers violet, larger than those of L. semitosta, Ridl. I have 



specimens of a plant apparently identical collected by Mr.

 This noble pitcher-plant, easily distinguished by the pubescent 

 lid to the pitcher, is common in the damp mossy woods of the 

 Padang. The pitchers are usually deeply embedded in the 

 thick moss; they vary in colour from apple-green with red- 

 brown slashes to entirely red with darker spots. 



It occurs on many of our highest mountains. 



* 142. Nepenthes gracillima, Ridl. op. cit. p. 320. 

 Abundant on the Padang. The leaves and stem are usually 

 red or dark purple, and the stem when broken exudes a violet- 

 purple stain. The pitchers vary in colour from green with 

 vertical streaks of fuscous-black to entirely fuscous-black. 

 I found also forms in which there was a distinct white ring 

 round the mouth as in iV. albomarginata, to which plant
