NEW, RARE AND DESIRABLE GREENHOUSE PLANTS, 
SARBACENIA ATROSANGUINEA. 
A strikingly handsome variety of the Side-saddle flower. The pitchers form long narrow funnels, 
expanding at the mouth. The broad roundish lid is erectly cuiwed over the orifice, at first green, with 
red reticulations, but gradually becoming deeper coloured, and at length entirely covered with a rich, 
deep, sanguineous red, which has a satiny lustre. The flowers are very regularly campanulate iu out- 
line, upwards of three inches across, the five petals regularly curving downwards ; they are of a creamy- 
white, and hide the green umbraculiform style ; the sepals, which are primrose-yellow, curve over the 
petals but stand ipute separated from them. The flower is particularly elegant in shape. This very 
remarkable jdant was imported from North America, and was awarded a First Class Certificate when 
exhibited at South Kensington. 1 guinea.
