21. Curtisii, Hook. This species is very distinct by 

 reason of the shape of the pitcher. Pitcher 7xlH in., 

 as nearly cylindrical as in any species of the genus. 

 The mouth and neck are like N. Bafflesiana, but the 

 pitcher is not bulged below and the fls. are green instead 

 of dark red. This species is unique by reason of its 

 spurs. The back spur is borne not at the junction of 

 back and lid as usual, but on the back of the pitcher. 

 Moreover, the midrib of the lower surface of the lid is 

 produced into 2 spurs— one near the base and a longer 

 one near the apex. Borneo. B.M. 7138. G.C. III. 2: 689.

 pitcher sent bv Siebrecht shows that this is even more 

 distinct and splendid than the pictures show.

 I.H. 21:272 this spotted var. is represented with a small, 

 broadly oblong, unconstricted pitcher and a lid bent 

 back to a wholly exceptional degree. 



24. R4jali, Hook. Fig. 1472. Distinguished by the 

 immense size of the pitchers, their odd shape, the'great 

 mouth, the disproportionately large lid, and also by the 

 tendril which is given off, not from the apex of the leaf, 

 as usual, but from the under surface a short distance 

 below the apex. Pitchers a foot or more long and three- 

 fourths as wide. Borneo. G.C. II. 10:493. Gu. 22, p.
