paler beneath, and hairy glabrous above ; nerves ascending, 7
pairs, hairy beneath ; petiole short, stout. Flowers 1-4 on
pedicels, shorter than the leaves, slender, red, hairy. Bracts
lanceolate-acuminate, hairy, narrow. Sepals lanceolate-acuminate,
sparsely hairy. Corolla campanulate, pubescent, pure
white (very rarely tinted violet)-, an inch long; lobes ovate,
regular, equal, obtuse. Stamens 2 ; anthers connivent, semiovate,
white; filaments short, sigmoid. Style longer, curved.
Stigma capitate. Capsule f inch long, ^q inch through, rather
broadly linear and woody.
Very abundant in all the damp woods from the Gully
upwards. In one plant on the first Padang stream I found the
flowers of a violet colour, the other plants pure white. This
fine species is not clearly allied to any other known to me. It
is the largest species of the genus known to me, and remarkable
for its beautiful white bells.

This noble pitcher-plant, easily distinguished by the pubescent
lid to the pitcher, is common in the damp mossy woods of the
Padang. The pitchers are usually deeply embedded in the
thick moss; they vary in colour from apple-green with redbrown
slashes to entirely red with darker spots.
It occurs on many of our highest mountains.
* 142. Nepenthes gracillima, Ridl. op. cit. p. 320.
Abundant on the Padang. The leaves and stem are usually
red or dark purple, and the stem when broken exudes a violetpurple
stain. The pitchers vary in colour from green with
vertical streaks of fuscous-black to entirely fuscous-black.
I found also forms in which there was a distinct white ring
round the mouth as in iV. albomarginata, to which plant
