inchesacross. The colour is light crimson with 
white markings, and the flowers are crimson. 
S. Cookiana. — Raised by Mr. Cook while 
gardener at Quorn House near Loughborough, 
and one of the parents of Sander s hybrids. 
aS". decora. — Probably from .S*. psittacina and 
S. variolaris ; sent out in 1890. 
S. Dormeri. — This is a natural hybrid be- 
tween S. flava and S. purpurea^ collected in 
America and sent by Mr. Dormer to Messrs. 
R. Veitch & Son of Exeter. It has received 
an award of merit from the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society. 
S. excellens. — A neat-growing cross between 
Ss. variolaris 2ind.Drummondiia/ba. The pitchers 
are green, spotted with white above, and closely 
netted with reddish-purple veins. 1884. 
S. exculta. — An erect-growing hybrid be- 
tween S.Jiava atropurpurea and S. Drummondii. 
The pitchers are green below, with the upper 
part and thelidgreenish-whiteprofusely netted 
with crimson veins. 1884. 
S. exoniensis. — A natural hybrid, collected 
by Mr. Dormer in America, and, like ^S". 
Dormeri^ a natural cross between S.Jiava and 
S. purpurea ; pitchers i 2 to 15 inches high, 
red with a green wing, and veined with 
crimson-purple. Sent out by Messrs. R. 
Veitch of Exeter. 
S. exornata. — Habit and leafage of S. pur- 
purea but more erect, dark green, with netting 
and suffusion of dark reddish-purple in bold 
and effective contrast. Said to come from Ss. 
purpurea and crispata. 1884. 
S. Farnhami. — A handsome kind, its large 
open trumpets showing tesselated markings 
and finely ornamented margins ; flowers red. 
This hybrid and S. Cookiana were raised at 
Quorn House near Loughborough, the resi- 
dence of Mr. Farnham, a lover of these plants. 
S. Fi/desii. — A dwarf, wide-mouthed form 
of S.Jiava of uncertain origin. Nicholson says 
probably synonymous with Jiava Cateshai, but 
my plant (obtained from Mr. Bruce the special- 
ist of Chorlton) is quite distinct, and is more 
like Rugel's form of the typical S. fiava. It 
grows 9 to 24 inches high, widening rapidly 
to a spreading trumpet-like mouth ; pitchers 
self-green in colour, and fine deep yellow flow- 
ers. One of the largest and best kinds. 
S. Flambeau. — A cross between S. purpurea 
and an unknown kind, with crimson-red pitch- 
ers and cherry-red flowers. 1886. 
S. jiava x C he I son i. — This has greenish 
pitchers suffused with crimson, i 2 to 16 inches 
high. Tubes and lids bright red with darker 
veins. It is elegant and free-growing, as seen 
at Kew. 
S. fiava x purpurea. — Trumpets green i 5 to 
1 8 inches high, with broad lids and a few dark 
red veins. Free-grower, as seen at Kew. 
S.for?nosa of Veitch. — An improved form 
of S. psittacina raised for Messrs. Veitch by 
crossing with S. variolaris., but near psittacina 
in its decumbent pitchers about 8 inches long 
and the nearly closed lid. The pitchers are 
beautifully netted with crimson veins. 
S. formosa of Bull. — A cross between Ss. 
purpurea and variolaris., said to be one of the 
Wrigley seedlings. 1884. 
S.heterophylla. — A variety (or species) treated 
by American authors (" Eaton's Man." Ed. 
VI. 1833) as intermediate between 
and purpurea,h\\i we have never seen the plant. 
It is described as having distended pitchers, 
the whole plant slender and of a pale yellow 
colour. 
S. hybrida. — Trumpets 18 inches to 2 feet 
high, red or bronzy and somewhat S. Drum- 
mondii-like in form, as grown at Kew. 
S. illustrata. — From S. Stevensii (itself a hy- 
brid) crossed with 6'.y/<^i;^7/'/r/<^. Its long funnel- 
shaped pitchers are yellowish-green, strongly 
marked with longitudinal crimson ribs and 
cross veins, extending to the lid and throat. 
S. Maddisoniana. — A seedling from S. vari- 
olaris crossed with S. psittacina. Of dwarf 
growth, with erect, incurving and broad pitch- 
ers, greenish with dull red veins. Lid large, 
curving over the mouth of the tube, and 
strongly ribbed with red veins and intricate 
marginal netting. The mouth of the pitcher 
shows the pale translucent spots common to 
both parents, i 884. 
S. Mandaiana. — A scarce wild cross be- 
tween S.Jiava and S. Z)r//ww9/;<:///, intermediate 
in character, and found growing with them. 
The pitchers are about 2 feet high and light 
green in colour, with faint white markings. 
Mouth broad with a lid proportionately large, 
waved around the edges and slightly incurved, 
darker green than the tube, shaded red and
