100 Observations on the genus Sarracenta ; 



Habitat. Middle country of South Carolina. Elliott. 

 Common in swamps between Aiken, S. C. and Richmond 

 County, N. C, flowering in May ! Buncombe* County, North 

 Carolina. Mr. Curds in lit. 



Observations. Leaves 10 — IS inches long, rather slen- 

 der, reticulated with purple veins. Tube enlarging regularly 

 towards the summit, like a trumpet. Lamina erect, clothed 

 with very fine hair on the inner surface. Wing narrow and 

 linear. Scape much longer than the leaves. Flower reddish- 

 purple. 



Pureh certainly erred when he united this species with S. 

 psittacina of Micbaux, an error in which he was followed by 

 Nuttall and some others. Elliott and Hooker have both re-

 Nor are the leaves of S. rubra short for this genus, as those of 

 S. psittacina are said to be.
