POPEI X (hybrida inter S. flavam et S. rubram).This variety, the flowers of which are very lovely, wasraised at Glasnevm between S. flava and S. rubra (seefig. 8). The pitchers are erect, about 2 feet in height,2^ inches in diameter at the top, slender, trumpet-shaped, with prominent veins, and a wing which is broadat the lowei part of the pitcher, narrower above. Thelid is about 3^ inches across, ovate acuminate, with aglossy sheen on the inner surface and a network of redveins. The flowers are about 4 inches in diameter;bracts obtuse, boat-like, green, with white edges. Thesepals are narrow at the base, ovate-oblong, the marginsstrongly recurved ; greenish, flushed with red. Thepetals are twice the length of the sepals, broad at thebase, oblong-obovate, constricted, and bent below themiddle; the base of the petal is white, the remaining. Fig. 7.—sarracenia stevensi : petals rosy-pink. dull crimson outside, cream-coloured within. The ovaryis ovate truncate, 5-lobed and tubercled, the disc ofthe style 3 inches across, green, the five lobes deltoidlanceolate, deeply notched. Both pitchers and flowersshow the cross between the characteristics of the twoparents. ? S. WiLLlAMSi X, Hort. Williams. This is supposed to be a natural hybrid between and S. flava. It was imported by Mr. B. with a consignment of S. flava. The pitchersare 9—12 inches high, erect, bright hght green, streakedand veined with crimson, with a broad lid like that ofS. purpurea. The flowers, for specimens of which weare indebted to Mr. Williams, are nearly 5 inches across,with ovate obtuse rather flat reddish-brown bracts aboutli inch long.
