Descriptions of Malayan Plants. 367 



lanceolate, from eight to twelve inches in length, very entire, 

 somewhat reflex at the margin, smooth above, covered with 

 a ferruginous tomentum beneath, particularly on the nerves, 

 terminating at the apex in a tendril, which is generally 

 thickened and revolute at the extremity; the lower ones 

 have sometimes urns similar to those at the base of the stem. 

 The Racemes are at first terminal, and afterwards, as in the 

 other species, lateral and oppositifolious, erect, pyramidal, 

 many- flowered ; the lower pedicels three to four-flowered, 

 the upper one-flowered. The Bracts are linear, acute, and 

 villous like the raceme. 



Male. Calyx four-parted, flat, ferruginously tomentose 

 without, green and smooth within, segments ovate, rather 

 acute, two opposite ones larger. Corolla none. Stamineous 

 column central, erect, nearly as long as the calyx. Anthers 

 about eight, yellow, two-cellfed, compacted into a globular 

 head. 



Female. Calyx the same as in the male. Ovarium 

 superior, oblong, erect, four-sided. Style none. Stigma 

 peltate, four-lobed. Capsule oblong, narrftw at both ends, 

 four-angled, four-celled, four-valved, many-seeded, valves 

 septiferous. Seeds linear, paleaceous. 



Obs, — This species differs strikingly in habit from the 

 others, in having the urns crowded near the surface of the 

 ground. They are also very different in shape, being some- 

 what of the form and size of an egg, inflated like a bladder, 

 and the membrane thinner and more delicate than in the 

 others species. The inverted rim is broad, and projects far 

 into the cavity of the cup, forming a trap in which numbers 

 of flies and insects are taken 



NEPENTHES PHYLLAMPHORA. 



Foliis petiolatis oblongis, ascidiis nudis basi subventricosis 

 crassiusculis, superne citius marcescentibus, ore striato de-
