sometimes slightly longer, narrowly winged, hardly expanded at the throat, the slenderest 
in the genus, slightly paler above, and, like the ovate acute or acuminate finally erect hood, 
faintly reticulated with purple: scapes erect, longer than the leaves: flowers 3-5 cm. 
broad : sepals ovate, 2-2.5 cm. long, obtuse: petals 3-4 cm. long, reddish purple, with 
obovate blades : style-disk 3-3.5 em. broad, the lobes notched at the apex: capsules about 
1.5 cm. in diameter. 
In swamps, away from the coast, North Carolina to Georgia and Alabama. Spring. 
4. Sarracenia Drummóndii Croom. Leaves erect, elongated, narrowly trumpet- 
shaped, 4-12 dm. long, slightly winged, the upper part gradually expanding, white, retic- 
ulated with purple, like the erect ovate or suborbicular hood, whose margins are undulate 
above and recurved below, the edges of the trumpet revolute : scapes erect, scarcely longer 
than the leaves: flowers 7-10 cm. broad : sepals ovate, 5-6 cm. long, obtuse : petals fiddle- 
shaped, 5-7 cm. long, purple : style-disk 5-6 cm. broad, the lobes 2-cleft : capsule 2.5-3.5 
cm. in diameter. 
In sandy bogs, southwestern Georgia and Florida. Spring. 
5. Sarracenia flàva L. Leaves erect, elongated, trumpet-shaped, 5-9 dm. tall, grad- 
ually expanding above, the edges revolute, the upper part of the trumpet as well as the 
suborbicular apiculate hood which is 8-12 cm. broad, often bright yellow, more or less re- 
ticulated with reddish or purple veins: scape about as long as the leaves: flowers 10-12 
em. broad: sepals widest at the middle, 4-5 cm. long, rounded at the broad apex : petals 
yellow, much thinner than the sepals, 7-10 cm. long ; blades obovate, obtuse, abruptly nar- 
rowed to the oblong claw, scarcely widened at the base: style-disk 7-9 cm. broad, the 
lobes 2-cleft at the apex : capsule about 2 cm. in diameter.

6. Sarracenia Catesbaéi Ell. Leaves erect, rather slender, narrowly trumpet- 
shaped, 2-5 dm. long, slightly expanding above ; hood ovate, with relatively straight 
inconspicuous veins, these much less branched than those of S. flava: scapes about as tall 
as the leaves: sepals widest near the base, tapering to the narrow but blunt apex, resemb- 
ling the petals in texture: petals greenish yellow, 5-6 cm. long, fiddle-shaped ; blades 
rhombic-ovate, the abruptly widened basal portion nearly 2 cm. long, rhombic-obovate : 
capsule similar to those of Č flava, but with longer processes. 
In swamps, South Carolina to Georgia and Alabama. Spring. 
7 Sarracenia minor Walt. Leaves erect, 2-4 dm. long, narrowly trumpet-shaped, 
gradually expanding from the base, variegated at and near the top with green and pur- 
ple veins and white or yellowish scar-like blotches; hood ovate, arching, incurved over 
the orifice of the trumpet : scapes erect, shorter than the leaves or slightly longer: flow- 
ers 4-6 cm. broad : sepals ovate, about 2.5 cm. long, obtuse : petals narrowly fiddle-shaped, 
about 4 cm. long, rounded at the apex: style-disk 2.5-3 cm. broad, the lobes notched : 
capsule 1.5 cm. broad. [S. variolaris Michx. ]
