:t2. coccinea, Mast. American hybrid of unlsnown 

 purentase. Pitcher 6x3 in., crimson, slightly speckled 

 with yellow; rim red and black; lid spotted. G.C. II. 

 18:169. I. H. 41, p. U3.-Cannot be distinguished by 

 original descriptions and pictures from the next. The 

 leaf-margins of both have imm.n.in. n -ularly disposed, 

 minute teeth.

34. Morganiina, llort. (iV. Mdnjaniie, Hort.). One 

 of Tiipliii's AiiiriiiMTi liybrids, supposedly between iV. 

 Hookrri :ai.l .V. I'Inilhimphom. Lvs. reddish, margins 

 entire: ].ifi.li<r luniiuin-sized. Originally said to have 

 a green li.l. I.ut in On. 23:390 the lid is light yellow, 

 spotted red, :it least below. 



35. Dormanni^na, Masters. Possibly an American 

 hybrid; p:irenta^'e uukuown. Lvs. finely ciliate at the 

 edges: pitcher 6x3; lid spotted. G. C. II. 17:525.- 

 Fresh pitcher sent by Siebrecht has a parti-colored rim. 



36. Sideni, Veitch. Masters, in his careful descriji- 

 tion in G.C. 1872:542, says that the lid is cordate, but 

 this feature is not shown in the Veitchian trade cut used 

 in F. 1872, p. 54 and S. H. 1:104. Stem terete, glabrous: 

 lvs. 7x1% in.: pitcher (probably not mature) 3x1 in 



37. Lawrenci4na, B. S.Williams (N. Sedeni x IIo,>k- 

 erii). Pitcher 4-5 in. long, intermediate in shape l..-- 

 tween its parents, and in 1880 said to be a brighter n .1 

 than any kind except N. sanguinea. Lvs. slightly s. i- 

 rate: lid reddish beneath. G.C.IL 14:40. I.H.2',i;4(;i) 

 (lid spotted above). 



38. 'WrigleyS.na, Hort. Said to be another hybrid of 

 iV. Phiillamphora and N. Sookeri. Lvs. light green, 

 like tliose of iV". Phyllamphora, 10-12 xl%-2 in., acute 

 at both ends, glandular beneath, and with 2 or more 

 parallel nerves on each side of the midrib. G.C. II. 

 17:143. 



39. St6wartii, Veitch {N. Stuartil, Hort. i. ) . Same 

 parentage as N. Morganiana. Lvs. said to have the 

 light green color of jV. Phyllamphora , ■Kith the leathery 

 texture of N. Hookeri. Pitcher intermediate in size. 

 P. 1879, p. 157, where the pitcher is said to have a "promi- 

 nent rib " on the back. Specimens cult, at Cornell Univ. 

 have parti-colored rims. 



40. Henryina, B. S.Williams ( N. Hookeri x N. Seden i ) . 

 Pitcher 5x2. I. H. 29:460. Gn. 27:494. Here may belong 

 I.H.34:15, but the pitchers are larger and redder except 

 on the lid, which is nearly green and unspotted, the rim 

 decidedly parti-colored and the wings entirely unfringed, 

 the last point being the most suspicious. 



41. flyermaimi, Hort. Lvs. 10x2 in., dark green, 

 leathery, with a few raiuute teeth on the margin : piti-lur 

 4x1^^ in., han<lsome dark red, with relatively few ffr<Tii 

 spots; mouth ovate, rather short-necked: lid rouiidisli, 

 as large as the mouth, freely spotted above, scarcely 

 beneath; rim narrow, slightly parti-colored; wings in 

 the specimen sent with a short fringe above and none 

 below. Described from fresh pitcher furnished by Sie- 

 brecht. 



42. Eatcliffi4na, Veitch [N. PhyllamphoraxN. Hook- 

 eri) . Lvs. light green, leathery, 12-15 X IK in.: pitcher 

 5-6x2 in.; rim parti-colored; lid about as large as the 

 mouth, ovate, glandular and spotted below. G.C. II. 

 17:178. 



43. Outramiina, B. S.Williams (iV. Sedenix If. Hook- 

 eri). Pitcher 5 in. long; interior well spotted; riin 

 parti-cnlon-d; lid spotted, at least below. G.C. H. 14:41. 

 F. isyn, p. I5(i (same cut). P M. 1879:384.

 The color of the lid is not recorded. J. M. Macfarlane

N£F£TA (Latin, perhaps from Nepete, an Etrurian 

 city). Uibidtai. This genus includes Catnip, Ground 

 Ivy and some other hardy perennial herbs of the easiest 

 culture. Catnip is a familiar weed near dwellings and 

 barns. Cats are fond of it, and Catnip tea is a pungent 

 memory with those who have survived the era of 

 homely simples. The seeds of Catnip are still offered.

Ground Ivy also grows wild in America, and a form of 

 it with variegated foliage is cult, for edging flower- 

 beds or covering banks and stones. J. W. Manning 

 writes that it is hardy in light, well-drained soils, but 

 sometimes winter-Kills in moist soils. It is also used in
