The pitchers show a great resemblance with those of the drawing of "N. Northiana" in The Gardeners' Chronicle, 1881, 2, between p. 724 and 725. This drawing shows 2 keels on the lid and wings over the whole pitchers, even over the curved part, but these are insignificant differences. According to the descriptions, the stems of "N. Northiana" are less thick than those of "N. decurrens", and the leaves are sessile, but this too is not so important a difference as it seems. The most important difference is in the inflorescences. "N. Northiana" has a loose-flowered triangular raceme, with 2 to 3 mm long pedicels, "N. decurrens" has a long and coarse raceme, with long pedicels (the description of both inflorescences is very imperfect). Therefore it is impossible for me to determine the 3 above mentioned inferior pitchers, I found in the Sarawak Herbarium, and collected by Everett in 1892. This Mr. Everett may be the same which collected "N. Northiana" for Marianne North and therefore it seems possible that the 3 pitchers mentioned are the basal ones of the latter species. They are ovate-ellipsoidal, resp. 23, 24 and 26 cm high, 10, 11 and 10 cm wide, widest about, or somewhat below the middle ; the peristomes are as in "N. decurrens", resp. 3, 4 and 2 cm broad, the mouth is very oblique, occupying about half the height of the pitcher, the lid has one median keel, but is crumpled, and the form, though not well visible, seems to be that of "N. decurrens"."
