Sarracenia minor Walt. with Sarracenia variolaris Michx. 
Walter’s description, though of course very brief, is amply suffi- 
cient to distinguish this species from any other now known, but 
to settle the question finally I wrote in May, 1go1, to Mr. E. G. 
Baker, of the British Museum, asking if the species was repre- 
sented in Walter’s herbarium, and if so_what it was like. He very 
kindly complied with my request, and informed me that such a 
specimen existed, and that it was evidently the same as S. vario- 
larvis Michx., the only trouble being that it was not labeled S. 
minor but S. lutea, a name which was never published. But as 
the other species mentioned by Walter were also there, and cor- 
rectly named, it was evident that the S. /wtea of his herbarium 
must be the S. mnor of his flora, the reason for the change of 
name probably being that there is another species with yellow 
flowers (S. fava L.), which is a much larger plant. S. minor and 
S. variolaris were rightly considered synonymous by Elliott and 
several other authors of that period, but for some reason their 
identity has been doubted by some later authors. 
I have no additional notes on this species at the present writ- 
ing, except that it seems to be the most widely distributed species 
of Sarracenia in the coastal plain of Georgia. It grows in com- 
pany with S. fava, S. rubra and S. psittacina, as well as in many 
places where none of the other species are present. It is repre- 
sented by my numbers 678, from Coffee County, September 21, 
1900, and 854, from Bulloch County, June 10, 1901. Ihave also 
seen it in Chatham, Effingham, Emanuel, Tattnall, Sumter, Lee 
and Thomas Counties, always in moist pine-barrens. It is not 
known from Alabama, however, and I have not seen it within fifty 
miles of the Chattahoochee River in Georgia. 
Sarracenia flava x minor 
On June to I collected in moist pine-barrens in Bulloch 
County a single specimen of a curious plant which must be re- 
garded as a hybrid between Sarracenia flava and S. minor, It 
consisted of a short horizontal rootstock, like that of most species 
of the genus, bearing a single erect leaf which seems in every 
way exactly intermediate between those of the two supposed 
parents. It was yellowish green, with the hood horizontal (as-
