Mastersiana, this is indisputably the 
finest hybrid Nepenthes vet obtained. 
It was raised from N. sanguinea and 
N. distillatoria. The pitchers are as 
richly colored as those of N. san- 
guinea, but easily distinguished from 
that grand species by their having 
the characteristic blotches of N. dis- 
tillatoria on the deep claret or blood- 
red ground of N. sanguinea; they 
are evlindric, slightly distended be- 
low, and contracted above the mid- 
dle, where there is a rib or promi- 
nence; they attain a length of 8 
inches, and a breadth of 2, and even 
more, as the plantsincreasein strength. 
This hybrid is quite distinct from 
every other Nepenthes in cultiva- 
fo 3 a pitcher is produced from every
