Own a piece of history! Photos of description are from The Gardeners' Chronicles July-December 1900 issue! Original drawing and description of Nepenthes "Sir William Thiselton Dyer" in the 1900 Gardener's Chronicle. Contributed by UMass Amherst Libraries. Text: With the exception of N. Northiae (Gardeners' Chronicle, 1881, p. 717, fig.144), this is the finest Nepenthes yet introduced into our gardens. It was raised in the nurseries of Messers. James Veitch & Sons, exhibited by them at a recent meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society, and named by them in compliment to Sir William T. Thiselton Dyer, the Director of Kew. Not the least of his works at the Kew has been the erection of a Nepenthes house, so that the dedication of this fine variety to him is specially appropriate. When one considers the ancestry of this fine form, there is no room for surprise at its merits. It was raised as a cross out of N. mixta x by N. Dicksoniana x, both fine varieties, and figured in these columns (see 1888. iv., 543, fig. 78). N. Dicksoniana x was raised out of N. Vetichi, by pollen of N. Rafflesiana and Curtisii. The general appearance of the pitchers is shown in our illustration (fig. 76, p. 257), the colour of the spots being puplish-brown on a green ground. As shown, it is larger than either of its parents. The fine-ribbed rim is sometimes undulate, as in mixta x; the wings have a fringe of fine brownish hairs. and the lid has not only the ordinary long, slender spur at the back, but also the hump-like process which is characteristic of N. Curtisii (see 1887, ii., 681, fig. 133). It is the finest plant shown this season. Makes an excellent house plant. Ships as a plug. You will need to provide your own pot and substrate.
