of costa without a curl. 
N. Jardinei. Fig. 34.—Stems not climbing. Pitchers in¬ 
flated below the middle, anterior ribs with a narrow non-crested 
wing; naked portion of costa without a curl.

without a curl. 
N.Boivance , Bail. (n. sp.) Fig. 35. (After Mrs. Rowan, a painter 
of Australian flowers.)—Pitchers, when fresh, beautifully marked 
with reddish-purple, about 6 in. long, shortly and abruptly 
curved at the base, from which it widens upwards, attaining a 
width at the top of about 3 in., prominently marked on the out¬ 
side by oblique parallel nerves and reticulate veins ; anterior 
ribs hard, scarcely winged, much nearer together than in N. 
Jardinei; orifice very wide, posterior spur flat, tomentose ; 
peristome 3 or 4 lines broad, with close transverse veins; oper¬ 
culum nearly orbicular, about 2J in. diameter, with numerous 
circular glands on the inner face. 
From specimens to hand from Mr. F. L. Jardine, of 
Somerset, I am enabled to add the following to the above 
description. 
Stems stout, erect, 2 or 3 ft. high, hoary tomentose. Leaves 
numerous, coriaceous, prominently decurrent upon the stem, 
falcately recurved, tapering towards the base into a broad 
petiole, including this tapering base or broad petiole about 
11 in. long, the broad centre about 1J to 2^ in. wide; longitu¬ 
dinal nerves 6 on each side of costa, the cross-veins wavy but 
not very prominent from the thickness of the lamina, the naked 
portion of costa or stalk of pitcher somewhat flattened, 7 to 
10 in. long, without a curl, straight and cane-like. No flowers 
or fruit yet to hand. Hab.: Somerset, Cape York Peninsula, 
Frank L. Jardine. 
The two specimens sent by Mr. Jardine as Nepenthes Ken- 
nedyi, in the box with N. Bowance, proved to be N. Kennedyi
