 tiveand ainenabh^ plant that hears 

 abinidant ])itelier.-< of rieh coloi- 

 in;;. Tlie writer repirds it as a 

 natural hybrid from Horneo be- 

 tween A'. ampiiUarid and \. h'<if- 

 /Ifsiana, as it blends jiarental 

 characters of these. 



2.5. Lawrenciana, IMast. (? A'. 

 PIn/Uiimphora x A'. Ilookcriana). 

 Lvs. lanceolate, margins finely den- 

 tate-cihatc: pitchers 3-5 x 1 '2'-

 ling A'. Mnrqaniana which seems 

 to have had the same parentage. 



26. Outramiana, ^\■illiaIns. One 

 of Taplin's hyl)rids of doubtful 

 parentage l)ut probably A'. Scdcnii 

 X A'. Ilookcriana, therefore clo.sely 

 like the following hybrid. F.M.

Gn. 23:492. J.H.S. 21:2.37, 2.39. G.Z. 23:121.— A 

 ver>' commendable hybrid of Seden's raising. Var. 

 ixcellens is the same a.s A', edinensis (No. 32). 



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

 X A'. Rafflc.-nana). Lvs. petiolate, lanceolate: pitchers 

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

 ea-sily grown hybrid. 



30. RafBesi^na, Jack (A^. Handeruina, Burbidge). 

 Figs. 2462, 21tj4. Lvs. long-petioled oval to lanceolate,

 pitchers change their 

 shape. 



The earliest and 

 best are muK-ahaped 

 ones; the topmost 

 pitchers of old and 

 tall plants arc cylin- 

 drical. N.Rafflesiana,

to Eu., .and is a parent of many hybrids. A', n'lgrn- 

 piirpitrca, IMast. (C!.C. II. 18:429) is a dark pur[)le 

 form with almost white spots.

 Vc)lchii). Lvs. petiolate, deeply amplcxicaul, blade 

 ellijitic-obovate, spar.sely hairy beneath: i)itchers 4-8

 ol)li(iue, wide, pale green willi i)ur])le slrii]es; lid oblong. 

 G.C. 111. 4:.543, desc. Gt. 38, \). ItiO. 'I'r. Hot. Soc. 

 ICdin. 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. Raffli'iddna x A''. Chi'l- 

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

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

 purple spots; wings ex])anded, 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. Phyllamphora, Willd. (A^. macrostachya, Blume. 

 A'. Jimhridta, Blume. A'^. O' Bricniana, Rod. Phyl-

 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 difTerent 

 localities. 



34. coccinea. Mast. {N. Hookeriana x A'^. Phyllam- 

 phora). This has i>robably the same parents as A^^. 

 Lawrenciana and A''. Patcrsonii and mainly differs in the 

 more generally pur]5le-red surface with yellow-green 

 marhlings 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 A'. Phyllamphora that was grown from 

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

 17:2.57.

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

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



37. madagascariensis, Poir. The most outlying spe- 

 cies of the genus and native to Madagascar. It forms 

 low upright iilants 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. (I.e. II. 16:685. 



38. bicalcarita, Hook. f. (A''. Dyak, Moore). Plant 

 tall, stout, yellow-green: lvs. 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.(;. II. 13:201. I.H. 28:408. Gn. 33. p. 29.— A 

 remarkable si)ecies, but very difficult in cult. 



39. Veitchii, Hook. f. Fig. 2405. St. creeping, hairy, 

 epiphytic: lvs. alteniiite, petiolate, decurrent, elliptic to 

 obovate: pitchers 4— 8 x 1 }-2-'^ in., yellow-green to red-
