[ November, 
the leaves are dark green above, paler below; pitchers about three inches long, 
and somewhat lighter-coloured than the leaves. Native of Borneo. 
iY. phyllamphoi'a .—A species of free growth, and somewhat robust habit, pro¬ 
ducing large, broad, oblong leaves of a bright apple-green. The pitchers are of 
the same colour, and measure from five to ten inches in length, not winged, but 
furnished with a few hairs in front. It is very handsome, and is the most 
abundant kind in cultivation. Native of the Labuan mountains in Borneo, at an 
elevation of 2,500 ft. ; it also occurs in Malacca, Singapore, Java, and New Guinea. 
N. Rafflesiana .—The present species somewhat resembles N. HooTceriana in 
habit. The plant is very robust; the leaves large, oblong, thick, and leathery in 
texture, dark green on the upper surface, paler below. The pitchers are from 
six to twelve inches in length, the lid large ; margin of the mouth rolled inwards, 
and ornamented with an annular disk ; the colour is dark green, beautifully 
spotted, and blotched with red. The pitchers are winged in front when pro¬ 
duced upon leaves near the base of the stem, or upon young laterals, but after¬ 
wards they undergo the same changes* as those of N. Hookeriana. It is found 
in the mountains of Kina Balou, in Borneo, at 3,500 ft. elevation, and upon the 
mountain of Labuan; also in Sumatra, Singapore, and Malacca. 
N. sanguinea .—This is an extremely rare plant in cultivation, and, as far as 
we are aware, it is far from common in its native habitat, or at least it has rarely 
been found by plant collectors. The leaves are dark green, but the pitchers are 
its chief attraction, being from five to ten inches in length, and of a deep blood- 
red colour. It is a native of Java. 
N. villosa .—This is a rare plant in cultivation, of robust habit, producing 
broad, somewhat spathulate, leaves, of a dark ferrugineous green. The pitchers 
are from ten to twelve inches long, dull green, faintly blotched with reddish 
brown, winged in front, the wings deeply lacerated at the edges. The annular 
disk of the mouth is very broad, and reddish pink in colour. Lid small, rust}’’ 
green, blotched with reddish brown. It is found growing in swampy places on 
the mountains of Kina Balou, Borneo, at 8,000 ft. and 9,000 ft. attitude.—B. S.

YELLOW-LEAVED BEDDING PLANTS. 
HEN visiting Mr. Turner’s Nursery at Slough, a few days ago, I saw 
there a long line of his new yellow-leaved Tropceolum ochroleucum, 
and was much pleased with it. It had met my eye while walking from 
the Slough station to the Nursery. Passing a nice villa residence in the 
main road, with a flower garden in front of it, I was struck with the appearance 
of a yellow edging to one of the circular beds, and stopped to examine it, as it 
appeared too bright for the Golden Feather Pyrethrum. It turned out to be a 
ring of the Golden-Leaved Tropseolum ; and when I reached the Nursery, its 
appearance there deepened the conviction in my mind that it is a most useful
