SAEEACENIA. 303 



'Swelling upwards, broadly winged in front, and of a bright 

 light green colour, the lid and throat being in addition 

 lieautifully mottled and streaked with reddish crimson. 

 The scape rises about two feet, and bears a single large 

 •deep crimson flower. 



8. Drunvmondii alba. — In general appearance this re- 

 sembles the preceding, and the colour of the flower is the 

 same. The difierence consists in the lid and throat, instead 

 of being reddish crimson, being beautifully blotched and 

 spotted with white, which affords a fine contrast with the 

 species. 



8. flava. — There are in our collections three distinct 

 plants under this name, but that here described is, we 

 believe, the plant originally described and figured as 8. 

 flava. The pitchers are erect, and from two to three feet 

 in length, narrow at the base, widening upwards, and 

 forming a large open throat, with a broad lid ; neither 

 throat nor lid is marked in this plant, but the colour 

 throughout is a uniform bright green. The flower scape 

 is about the height of the leaves, and bears a single large 

 light yellow flower. Native of the swamps of Virginia 

 and Florida. 



8. flava maxima. — This plant attains a height of three 

 feet. The pitchers are small at the base, swelling upwards ; 

 they are slightly winged in front, and form a broad open 

 throat, which is somewhat thickened round the margins, 

 and white inside ; the lid is large, very erect, curved back- 

 wards at the edges, and, as well as the whole plant, of a 

 full green colour. The scape bears a large light straw 

 coloured flower. This may be a form of the preceding, or 

 it may prove specifically distinct, but it is so different that 

 for convenience sake we have given it a provisional name. 

 Native of North America.
