In Cicero Swamp we have collected the following plants, which 
seemed rare to us, not finding most of ihera elsewhere in the County:

Swamp, containing many more rattlesnakes if the reports we heard of 
them be true, we gathered Geranium maculatnm, L. (with pure white 
flowers), Trifolium hybridum (which will probably be common soon),

If the manes of the ancient Romans return to visit the localities 
in Central New York that have been named for them they must 
suffer. Still, I think were I even Cicero I could endure to have the 
most miserable parts of that swamp named for me, could I return to 
see what we saw there one lovely day in June— a large mat of pale 
citrine Sphagnum, over which swayed a hundred or more maroon 
flowers of the pitcher-plant, while clustered at their feet were their 
quaint leaves of a deeper citrine, veined with maroon. If one were 
fond of fine coloring it was a sight to rejoice in, and one never to be 
forgotten.
