10-4 Observations on the genus Sarracenia, ^<r. 



districts of Carolina and Georgia, Ell. Near Charleston, S. C! 

 Common in the wet pine woods of Middle Florida! 



Observations. Leaves very long, 24 to 3G inches, erect, 

 trumpet shaped. Wing very narrow, linear. Lamina erect, 

 mucronate, wiih the sides at base usually reflected. This is 

 the largest species of the genus* In the savannas of North and 

 South Carolina 1 have sometimes gathered the leaves full 

 three feel long, which is precisely the length assigned by 

 Catesby to the leaves of this species. 



In the southern states, where this species is common, its 

 leaves are known by the appropriate name of " trumpets.'''' 

 Elliott's Sarracenia, Catesbcei, is, as I have ascertained by the 

 inspection of his herbarium, scarcely even a variety of this 

 species, and differs from the ordinary form of the plant only 

 by the more conspicuous veins and pubescence of the lamina. 

 It agrees very well with the figure in Catesby above-cited, which 

 Elliott refers to his S. Catcsbai, while both Willdenow and 

 Pursh quote the same figure as belonging to S. jlava.
