NEPENTHES 



NEPENTHES 



radiating nerves: pitchers 2-5 x 1-3 in., dimorphic; 

 lower subglobose, pale green with extensive purple 

 blotchings; wings ample, doubly fringed; upper funnel- 

 shaped wings narrow not fringed, mouth oblique ele- 

 vated into a neck behind. G.C. II. 16:813. I.H. 41, p. 

 145. G.W. 2:151. A.G. 18:877. A vigorous, attrac- 

 tive and amenable plant that bears 

 abundant pitchers of rich color- 

 ing. The writer regards it as a 

 natural hybrid from Borneo be- 

 tween N. ampullaria and N. Raf- 

 flesiana, as it blends parental 

 characters of these. 



25. Lawrenciana, Mast. (? N. 

 Phylldmphora x N. Hookeriana). 

 Lvs. lanceolate, margins finely den- 

 tate-ciliate: pitchers 3-5xlK~2 

 in., ventricose below, cylindric 

 above, pale green with heavy pur- 



Ele markings; wings expanded, 

 inged; peristome pale green and 

 red-striped; lid oval. G.C. II. 

 14:40. I.H. 29: 460. One of Tap- 

 lin's hybrids, and nearly resemb- 

 ling N. Morganiana which seems 

 to have had the same parentage. 



26. Outramiana, Williams. One 

 of Taplin's hybrids of doubtful 

 parentage but probably N. Sedenii 

 X N. Hookeriana, therefore closely 

 like the following hybrid. F.M. 

 1879:384. F. 1880, p. 156. 



27. Waiiamsii, Mast. (? N. 

 Sedenii x N. Hookeriana). Lvs. 

 shortly petioled, lanceolate, mar- 

 gin slightly hairy: pitchers yellow- 

 red with numerous and varying 

 bright red spots. G.C. II. 14:40. 

 Gn. 27:496. Frequent in plant- 

 houses. 



28. Chelsonii, Veitch (N. Hook- 

 eriana x N. Dominii). Lvs. petio- 

 late, glabrous, oblong: pitchers 

 3-4 x 1^-2 K in., broadly ovate, 

 yellowish green with purple spots; 

 wings narrowing from below up- 

 ward, fringed; peristome oblique, 

 pale green and red-striped, lid 

 green along middle, purple-spotted 

 laterally. G.C. 1872:542 desc. 



Gn. 23:492. J.H.S. 21:237, 239. G.Z. 23:121. A 

 very commendable hybrid of Seden's raising. Var. 

 excellens is the same as N. edinensis (No. 32). 



29. intermedia, Veitch (? N. hirsiita or N. grdcilis 

 X N. Rafflesiana). Lvs. petiolate, lanceolate: pitchers 

 5-8 x 2-3 in., ovate, slightly ventricose below, green and 

 abundantly small purple-spotted; wings conspicuous 

 fringed; peristome cylindric, greatly elevated into a 

 neck behind, pale green with purple stripes. G.C. 

 II. 17:179. F. 1875, p. 257. Gn. 11, p. 429. G.Z. 21: 

 265. J.H.S. 21:237, 238. A pretty, common, and 

 easily grown hybrid. 



30. Rafflesiana, Jack (N. Sanderiana, Burbidge). 

 Figs. 2462, 2464. Lvs. long-petioled oval to lanceolate, 

 like the st. white tomentose when young, at length 

 glabrous: pitchers 3-7 x2-4 in., dimorphic, lower urn- 

 shaped, upper funnel-shaped, pale green with varied, 

 purple spots and blotches; peristome uniform, much 

 elevated into high neck behind; pitcher within with 

 triangular glaucous conducting and lower shining 

 detentive area. B.M. 4285. F.S. 3:213, 214; 16:1698; 

 22:2343. F. 1850:77; 1872, p. 221. G.C. 1872:1164. 

 F.S.R. 2:113, desc.; 3:280. G.Z. 30:265 Native from 

 Malacca to Borneo and Sumatra, it was early brought 



2464. How the 

 pitchers change their 

 shape. 



The earliest and 

 best are mug-shaped 

 ones; the topmost 

 pitchers of old and 

 tall plants are cylin- 

 drical. N. Rafflesiana, 

 both from same plant. 

 Adapted from B.M.

to Eu., and is a parent of many hybrids. N. nigro- 

 purpiirea, Mast. (G.C. II. 18:429) is a dark purple 

 form with almost white spots. 



31. Dicksoniana, Lindsay (N. Rafflesiana x N. 

 Veitchii). Lvs. petiolate, deeply amplexicaul, blade 

 elliptic-obovate, sparsely hairy beneath: pitchers 4-8 

 x 2-3 in., cylindric-ventricose, somewhat villous, pale 

 green with abundant purple blotchings; peristome 

 oblique, wide, pale green with purple stripes; lid oblong. 

 G.C. III. 4:543, desc. Gt. 38, p. 466. Tr. Bot. Soc. 

 Edin. 18:236. Gn.W. 6:25 A beautiful hybrid that 

 was raised by Lindsay in the Edinburgh Garden, but 

 which is subject to If.-spotting and scale. 



32. edinensis, Lindsay (N. Rafflesiana x N. Chel- 

 sonii). Lvs. petiolate, lanceolate: pitchers 3-6x2-3 

 in., ovate, slightly ventricose, yellow-green with dark 

 purple spots; wings expanded, widest below, fringed; 

 peristome wide, subcylindric, slightly elevated into 

 neck behind. A.F. 7:381. Raised in the Edinburgh 

 Garden by Lindsay, and a pretty hybrid when well 

 grown, but rather difficult of treatment. 



33. PhyMmphora, Willd. (N. macrostachya, Blume. 

 N. fimbriata, Blume. N. O'Brienidna, Rod. Phyl- 

 ldmphora mirdbilis, Lour.). Fig. 2463. Lvs. petiolate, 

 light green, herbaceous, glabrous, veins 6-10 pairs, 

 margin dentate-ciliate: pitchers 3-6 x 1-1 H in., sub- 

 cylindric, slightly inflated in lower half, pale green to 

 red-green or red (N. O' Brieniana) ; wings narrow or as 

 cords; peristome cylindric, transverse, green rarely red; 

 lid orbicular. B.M. 8067. I.H. 37:116. Native from 

 S. China to Borneo, Sumatra and N. Guinea. It was 

 first cult, nearly a century ago, and has been parent of 

 several hybrids. It varies in shape and color in different 

 localities. 



34. coccinea, Mast. (N. Hookeriana x N. Phylldm- 

 phora). This has probably the same parents as AT. 

 Lawrenciana and N. Patersonii and mainly differs in the 

 more generally purple-red surface with yellow-green 

 marblings and spots. G.C. II. 18: 169. I.H. 41, p. 143. 

 It combines very fairly the good points of both parents 

 in being an easily grown, abundantly pitchered and 

 attractively colored type. 



35. Kennedyana, F. Muell. An Australian species 

 very near to N. Phyllamphora that was grown from 

 1880 to 1890 and now is rare or lost to cult. G.C. II. 

 17:257. 



36. R6wanae, F. M. Bailey. Plant stout, erect: 

 pitchers large ? dull crimson - green to crimson; peri- 

 stome cylindric in front, expanded widely behind. G.C. 

 III. 22:338, desc.. J.H.S. 22:192. An Australian spe- 

 cies, first found and illustrated by Mrs. Ellis Rowan, 

 and which may yet be a well-known horticultural form. 



37. madagascariensis, Poir. The most outlying spe- 

 cies of the genus and native to Madagascar. It forms 

 low upright plants 2-3 ft. high, and bears deep crim- 

 son pitchers. It has been intro. repeatedly into French 

 and English stovehouses, but seems to die off rather 

 quickly. G.C. II. 16:685. 



38. bicalcarata, Hook. f. (N. Dyak, Moore). Plant 

 tall, stout, yellow-green: Ivs. petiolate, large, with 8-14 

 veins: pitchers goblet-shaped, yellow to brownish or 

 reddish green, rarely almost brick-red; wings con- 

 spicuous; peristome with 2 long sharp descending 

 spines behind: fls. in long loose panicles. N. W. Borneo. 

 G.C. II. 13:201. I.H. 28:408. Gn. 33, p. 29. A 

 remarkable species, but very difficult in cult. 



39. Veitchii, Hook. f. Fig. 2465. St. creeping, hairy, 

 epiphytic: Ivs. alternate, petiolate, decurrent, elliptic to 

 obovate: pitchers 4-8 x 1^-3 in., yellow-green to red- 

 dish hairy; wings expanded and fringed or rudimentary; 

 peristome pale green or red-green, widely expanded 

 behind (Fig. 2465) ; lid yellow-green with strong basal 

 keel within. B.M. 5080 (as N. villosa, in error). G.C.
