marked with elose transverse lines. Glandular portion inside pitcher extending 
half way up. Peduncles 4 to Gin. long, shortly tomentose, more or less plainly 
striate. Raceme 5 to 7^in. long, flowers (male) rather crowded. Pedicels 
slender 5 lines long, tomentose. Perianth with 4 refiexed oblong-cuneate seg- 
ments, about half as long as the pedicels, glabrous and dark-coloured on the face 
tomentose on the back. Staminal column about as long as the segments ; head 
of anthers about f line diameter. 
Hab.: Cape York, F. L. Jardine. 
8. 3V. albo-lineata (white-lined), Bail. Ql. Ayri. Journ. iii, 855, PI. lviii. 
Plant very slightly tomentose. Leaves shortly clasping the stem ; the broad 
.portion or blade 6 to 7in. long and 2in. broad, tapering to the base, or a winged 
petiole of 2in., and the upper portion to w T here the costa becomes naked forming 
the stalk of pitcher, this stalk is flexuous, but without a curl at the centre, 
about 6in. long. Pitchers (green, slightly streaked with white, F. L. Jardine) 
6 or 7in. long, enlarging from a narrow base to a diameter of about ljin., and 
keeping about this diameter to the top ; anterior ribs not winged, but sharply 
prominent for about one-third of their length from the base, the longitudinal 
nerves and reticulate veins not prominent. Peristome narrow, posterior spur 
rather broad, tomentose, much recurved. Operculum elliptical, glossy with the 
numerous glands of the genus on the inner surface, glandular portion inside 
pitcher extending halfway up. Male inflorescence terminal or nearly so. Peduncle 
5in. long, hoary ; raceme about Bin. long. Flowers numerous. Pedicels about 
4 lines long, segments of perianth 2^ lines long, linear ; column 2| lines high, 
bearing a head of anthers f line in diameter. Female flowers unknown. 
Hab.: Cape York Peninsula, F. L. Jardine. The white streaks mentioned by Mr. Jardine 
are not observable on the dried pitchers. 
4. N. IVIoorei (after C. Moore), Bail. Ql. Ayri. Journ. iii. 355, PI. lix. 
Stems attaining a few feet, but not climbing. Leaves nearly glabrous, the 
expanded portion scarcely exceeding lin. wide at the broadest part, from which 
tapering to the base without forming a petiole portion, and tapering upwards to 
where the costa becomes naked, texture thin, longitudinal nerves 4 or 5 on each 
side of costa, but not prominent, the naked portion of costa or stalk of pitcher 
usually slender and without a curl between the acuminate top of the lamina and 
the base of the pitcher. Pitchers 3 to 44in. long, 1 to ljin. broad, glabrous or 
slightly hoary, slightly enlarged above the base ; anterior ribs prominent but not 
formed into wings ; longitudinal nerves numerous and more or less prominent as 
well as the reticulate veins. Peristome narrow, posterior spur somewhat erect 
but curved back, resinous. Operculum elliptical, under l|in. diameter, resinous, 
glandular on the inner surface, glandular portion inside pitchers extending half- 
way up. Inflorescence (male) usually from the axils of the upper leaves. 
Peduncles 4 to 6in. long, racemes 6 to 8in. long, rhachis and back of segments 
hairy, flowers numerous, but not particularly dense. Pedicel slender, 4 lines 
long, segments of perianth reflexed upon the pedicel, about 2 lines long and 1 line 
broad, free to near the base. Staminal column about 2 lines long, bearing a 
head of anthers about +-line in diameter. So far as the specimens to hand show, 
the female plants seem to be of smaller growth. Racemes 3 to 4in. long. 
Perianth segments narrower than in the males. Ovary hoary-tomentose. Capsule 
8 lines long. 
Hab.: Cape York Peninsula, F. L. Jardine. Judging from the dried specimens, the pitchers 
are probably, when fresh, more or less stained with red.

Stems several, rather stout, arising from a hard knotty rhizome, 2 to 3 or more 
•feet high, not climbing, sometimes branched, clothed with leaves mostly bearing
