{{Inc|
Heliamphora nutans, Benth., is a perennial, 1-2 ft. high: lvs. all radical and pitcher-form; pitcher tubular and enlarging above, with a flaring open erect oblique mouth and a very small rudimentary lid terminating the midrib, hairy inside and winged down the front, in its native habitat conspicuously veined with red: fls. several on a slender scape, nodding, white or pale rose, each pedicel subtended by a prominent bract; perianth in 4-6 parts which are ovate-pointed; style straight, scarcely enlarging at the stigma. B.M. 7093. G.C. III. 37:194.—This unusual plant was first discovered in 1839 by the brothers Schomburgk, and was rediscovered in 1881 by Burke, an English orchid-collector who brought plants to England. It is a rhizomatous plant, and is prop, by single crowns. The plant is described as growing well in small pots in a mixture of peat, sphagnum and sand, surfaced with sphagnum, the pot plunged to the rim in moss and kept under a bell-glass. It requires much moisture. L.H.B.
