HORTUS VEITCHII 



The procumbent pitchers, as those of both the parents, in a regular 

 radiating rosette, bright crimson-purple from the middle upwards, are 

 veined and reticulated with a deeper tint : they change with age to a 

 deep blood-red with blackish-purple veins. 



SAEEACENIA x FOEMOSA. 



Masters in Gard. Chron. 1881, vol. xvi. p. 41; Veitchs' Catlg. of PI. 1883, p. 55. 



A beautiful hybrid from Sarracenia psittacina and S. variolaris in which 

 the characteristics of the two are intimately blended in the ascend- 

 ing pitchers, intermediate in form and length, while the beak-like lid is 

 altogether that of S. psittacina. 



All the upper portion of the pitcher has bright crimson reticulated 

 nervation, with the characteristic spotting of S. variolaris; the basal 

 portion pale fulvous-green. 



SAEEACENIA x MELANOEHODA. 



Masters in Gard. Chron. 1881, vol. xvi. p. 40 ; Veitchs' Catlg. of PI. 1883, p. 54, with fig. 



A hybrid raised by Court at Chelsea between Sarracenia purpurea and 

 S. X Stevensii, the latter itself a hybrid by the late Mr. Stevens, one 

 time gardener to the Duke of Sutherland, at Trentham. 



The pitchers are semi-decumbent and about intermediate in position 

 between the erect ones of S. X Stevensii and the prostrate ones of S. 

 purpurea, funnel-shaped with a broad wing on the upper side, when 

 mature blood-red veined with crimson. The lid erect and crisped, is 

 beautifully veined with blackish crimson on a reddish-yellow ground. 



SAEEACENIA x WILLISII. 



Gard. Chron. 1894, vol. xv. p. 761 (Report of B.H.S. Floral Committee). 



Eaised at Chelsea from Sarracenia X melanorhoda and S. X Courtii 

 derived from four distinct species. 



The green pitchers with purple veining are some 8 in. in length.

 white lip and yellow palate, resemble those of Utricularia montana in 

 shape.
