nearly hardy that it is sometimes cultivated in the open air. The plant is stemless, while the leaves 
which spread around the crown are pitcher-shaped, and furnished at the end with a roundish heart- 
shaped hood, which stands erect, like the open lid of a pitcher. Theso curious leaves arc ol a deep
