THE NEPENTHES OF AUSTRALIA.

(fig. 32) and N. Bernaysii. With these specimens were also, in 
a separate paper labelled N. Kennedyi, three specimens of male 
inflorescence ; but as Mr. Jardine placed the two species above 
mentioned as N. Kennedyi, I cannot say to which they may belong. 
The peduncles of these are most certainly not attached to the 
stem, like I found those of the female inflorescence of that 
species, and described in Syn. Ql. Flora; and up to the present 
no male inflorescence has been described. I am inclined to 
consider those now forwarded by Mr. Jardine as belonging to 
N. Bernaysii , of which neither inflorescence is known, and 
under which species a description is here given provisionally :— 
N. ? Bernaysii , Bail. Fig. 83.—Peduncles 4 to 6 in. 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 reflexed oblong- 
cuneate segments, 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 
J-line diameter. 
N. Jardinei, Bail. (n. sp.) (After Frank L. Jardine.) 
Fig. 34.—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 pitchers ; the 
young growth more or less clothed with soft hairs, the shorter 
ones of which are usually stellate, the longer ones frequently 
simple. Leaves decurrent and slightly stem-clasping; petiole 
2 in. long winged; lamina 8 in. long and from 2 to nearly 3 in. 
broad in the middle, tapering towards each end ; midrib at 
first purplish-red, longitudinal nerves on each side of midrib 
usually 6 ; the narrow portion or stalk of pitcher about 6 in., 
without the loop of N. Kennedyi , F. v. M.; pitcher 5 to 7 in. 
long, If in. diameter near the top, enlarging in the lower half to 
about in., with numerous prominent longitudinal nerves and 
reticulations ; anterior ribs with narrow red wings ; orifice wide 
and arising towards the spur; peristome narrow, about 1 line 
broad, with numerous transverse veins; posterior spur recurved; 
operculum elliptical, about 2 in. long, with numerous various¬ 
sized circular glands on the inner surface ; inside of pitcher 
more or less spotted or stained purplish-red. Racemes dense, 
4 to 8 in. long in the males, but shorter in the female racemes ;
