20. Northiana, ll.n.k. Id-niarkable for its wide rim, 

 which is sai<l to attain "_* in. and is perhaps nearly as wide 

 as in N. l-eil.-liii. I'it.lier flasli-shaped, 12-16 x llJ-^-u

 (all the same cut). G.C. II. 16:717 is misleading as to 

 width of rim, and was perhaps done from a very young 

 pitcher. 



21. Ciirtiali, Hook. This spocios is v.tv distinct by 

 reason of the shape of the pitcher. Pitclicr 7 \ 1 ',. in.. 

 as nearly cylindrical as in anx- sji.cn s .,r tin -. mus. 

 The mouth and neck are lilic .\'. Ii''rn/> s/^nm . Imt the 

 pitcher is not bulged below and tin- tls. an- ^'i-cn instead 

 of dark red. This species is uniipie 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. 7i:i8. G.C. III. 2: 089. 

 I.H. .3.5. p. .■>9 (same cut). G.C. III. 6:661. -A fresh 

 pitcher sent bv Siebrecht shows thttt this is even more 

 distinct an.l splendid than the pictures show.

24. Eijah, 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. 16:493. Gn. 22, p. 

 122. P. 1883. p. 157.

 Gardens, Washington, D. C. 



27. EaHIesiana, Jack. Fig. 1470. This is one of the 

 most distinct species by reason of its high-necked 

 pitchers and purple fls. The young pitchers are mug- 

 shaped (excluding the neck), while the mature ones 

 (rarely seen in cnlt.) are a.'tually wider at top than at
