Stems not climbing very short— 
Pitchers numerous, slightly inflated above the base 
and enlarging again at the top, 13 to 24 in. long ; 
anterior ribs with entire wings about #-line broad ; 
stalk slender, no curl ay o00 ne .. 1. WM. Alice. 
N, albo-lineata (n. sp.) Plate LVIII. Plant very slightly tomentose. Leaves 
shortly clasping the stem; the broad portion or blade 6 to 7 in. long and 2 in. 
broad, tapering to the base, or a winged petiole of 2 in., and the upper portion 
to where the costa becomes naked forming the stalk of pitcher. This stalk is 
flexuous, but without a curl at the centre, about 6 in. long. Pitchers (green, 
slightly streaked with white—F. LZ. Jardine) 6 or 7 in. long, enlarging from a 
narrow base to a diameter of about 1} in., 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. Oper- 
culum elliptical, glossy with the numerous glands of the genus. Male inflores- 
cence terminal or nearly so. Pedunele 5 in. long, hoary; raceme about 8 in. long. 
Flowers numerous. Pedicels about 4 lines long, segments of perianth 25 lines 
long, linear; column 24 lines high, bearing ahead of anthers $-line in diameter. 
Female flowers unknown. 
Hab: Cape York Peninsula, /’. Z. Jardine. The white streaks mentioned by Mr. Jardine 
are not observable on the dried pitchers. 
N. Moorei(n.sp.) Plate LIX. (After C. Moore, I.LS., for many years Director 
of Sydney Botanic Garden, and one of the first to record this genus as occurring 
in Australia.) Stems attaining a few feet, but not climbing. Leaves nearly 
glabrous, the expanded portion scarcely exceeding 1 in. 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 8 to 43 in. 
long, 1 to 14 in. 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 prominentas wellas the reticulate veins. Peristome 
narrow, posterior spur somewhat erect but curved back, resinous, Operculum 
elliptical, under 1} in. diameter, resinous. Inflorescence (male) usually from 
the axils of the upper leaves. Peduncles 4: to Gin. long, racemes 6 to 8 in. 
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 
1.Jine in diameter. So far as the specimens to hand show, the female plants 
seem to be of smaller growth. . Racemes 3 to 4: in. long. Perianth segments 
narrower than in the males. Ovary hoary-tomentose. Capsule 8 lines long. 
Hab.: Cape York Peninsula, 7. Z. Jardine. Judging from the dried specimens, the 
pitchers are probably, when fresh, more or less stained with red,
