Each. 

 Nepenthes, Rafflesiana, of robust growth, pro- 

 ducing very large pitchers of great beauty, 

 which measure from six to twelve inches in 

 length : ground color dark green, mottled and 

 blotched with red. Its handsome pitchers 



render it a general favorite 5 00 



*Stewartii, a hybrid between N. phyllamphora 

 and N. Hookeriana ; pitchers intermediate in 

 size between the parents, with rather broad 

 ciliate wings in front and a prominent rib be- 

 hind, deep green densely spotted and clouded 



with crimson 2 50 



*Nepenthes, Courtii, a hybrid pitcher 

 plant of exceptional merit. The plant, 

 although free growing, is dwarf in 

 habit. The leaves are coriaceous, and 

 margined with hairs. The pitchers, 

 which are freely produced, are flask- 

 like, deep green in color, densely 

 spotted or clouded with deep crimson 

 and attain a length of from six to eight 

 inches. The membranous texture of 

 the pitcher is remarkably firm and 



durable §2 50 to 



Mastersiana, this is indisputably the 

 finest hybrid Nepenthes yet obtained. 

 It was raised from N. sanguinea and 

 N. distillatoria Glasnevin variety _(N. 

 Khasiana of Science), the latter being 

 the pollen parent. 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. distilla- 

 toria (N. Khasiana), on the deep claret 

 or blood-red ground of N. sanguinea. 

 In form they are cylindric, slightly 

 distended below, and'eontracted above 

 the middle, where there is a rib or 

 prominence; they attain a leugth of 

 8 inches, and a breadth of 2, and 

 even more, as the plants increase in 

 strength. This hybrid is quite dis- 

 tinct, from every other Nepenthes in 

 cultivation ; it has also the additional 

 merit of being vigorous in constitu- 

 tion, and at the same time dwarf in 

 habit. A pitcher is produced from 

 every leaf, and presents, in its rich 

 coloration, a striking contrast to the 



pale green of the blade and stem 



♦Sedeni, the pitchers are produced 

 freely even on very small plants ; they 

 are of medium size, oblong, dilated at 

 the base, narrowed above the centre ; 

 and slightly expanded towards the 

 top, and provided with two ciliolate 

 wings ; in color they are a dark green, 

 densely covered with dark red "spots. 

 They are of dwarf and very neat 

 habit 



PITCHER PLANT. 



'Nepenthes, Morganiae, it is of dwarf neat 

 habit, furnished with smooth, pale green leaves 

 with red midribs. The pitchers are flask- 

 shaped, with two rather narrow ciliolate wings; 

 when fully grown art; from six to eight inches 

 in length. On the younger plants the pitchers 

 are beautifully mottled with bright red and pale 

 gieen; in the older plants they are almost self- 

 c ilored and blood ied. The lid is always pale 

 green, offering a remarkable contrast to the 

 richly colored ascidium or urn §2 50 to 5 00 



*Hookerii, a magnificent species, of ro- 

 bust habit ; the leaves are long and 

 broad, supporting tine large pitchers 

 upwards of four inches in leugth and 

 two inches in diameter. The ground 

 color is dark green, which is profusely 

 streaked and blotched with dark 

 red

♦Nepenthes, Laevis, of very free growth, pro- 

 ducing its pitchers freely of moderate size, of 

 a bright green color, shaded with reddish 



brown 75 c t s . to 1 50 



*Hybrida Maculata, it is of free growth, and 

 produces iis pitchers in great profusion; they 

 are cylindric, slightly contracted above the 

 middle, and winged, the wings being ciliated; 

 they are stained with purplish red spots of a 

 peculiar tint, by which this variety may be 

 recognized 2 50
