Heliamphora
(from helios, the sun, and amphora, a pitcher; in reference to the circular ascidia). ORD. Sarraceniaceae. A monotypic genus. The species is a greenhouse herbaceous perennial. Probably this plant only yet exists in a single establishment in this country. Most likely it requires similar treatment to Sarracenia (which see).
H. nutans (nodding). fl. white, or pale rose-coloured, nodding, on an erect, few-flowered scape; sepals five, rarely four, spreading. l. radical, tubular, in the form of a pitcher with an oblique mouth, lined with deflexed hairs. h. 1ft. to 2ft. Roraima, 1883. (T. L. S. xviii. 29.)
