 NEPENTHAGE.-E. 

 176. Nepenthes annamensis Macfarl. 

 Lian Khanh Falls, 3,000 ft., and Dalat 5,000 ft. "In swampy 

 grass-land. Pitchers yellow to green with crimson or pinkish spots." 

 The specimens have been compared with authentic material 

 in the Kew Herbarium .with which they seem to agree well, except 

 that none of the pitchers have the ciliats wings sometimes found on 

 those of JST. annamensis. The latter's flowers and fruits Avere not 

 seen by Macfarlane (Pnanzenreich, 36 Heft (IV. iii.) p. 39.); the 

 fruits, but not the flowers, can now be described; they are borne in 

 a rather close raceme about 6 cm. in length on about 35 cm. long 

 peduncles, and are fusiform in shape, with oblong-lanceolate, trun- 

 cate, glabrous, palely-shining, brown valves, varying in length from 

 12 to 15 mm. 



The above naming must obviously be regarded as provisional.
