In the "Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club," Volume 

 XXIV, 1897, ^^^ '• "Notes on some undescribed and little 

 known plants of the Alabama Flora," by Dr. Charles Mohr. 

 On page 23 he refers thus to Sarracenia Hava Catcsbaei 

 (Elliott) : "Near the type differs in habit of growth and 

 range of distribution. Leaves rarely over 12 inches long, 

 with a very narrow wing, erect hood, dark purple veined; 

 the lamina covered with a fine silky pubescence, apparently 

 confined to the mountains of South Carolina and Alabama. 

 Alabama, DeKalb County, Look-out Mountain, bank of 

 Little River, about 1,700 feet." 



In Heller's "Catalogue of North American Plants," Sec- 

 ond Edition (1900), page 92, Sarracenia Catesbaei, Ell., is 

 recorded. 



In Mohr's "Plant Life of Alabama" (1901), page 131, 

 5". Catesbaei, Ell., Catesby's Trumpet Leaf is given by him 

 from the same locality as above. The addition, however, is 

 made to the former description, "flowers yellow, June." On 

 page 79, he says, "S. Catesbaei and Isoetes Engelmanni 

 valida are paludial plants, so far only known in the state 

 from the banks of Little River near DeSoto Falls." 



Small in the "Flora of the Southeastern United States," 

 page 484, describes it as follows : "Leaves erect, rather 

 slender, narrowly trumpet-shaped, 2 to 5 decimeters long, 

 slightly expanding above; hood ovate, with relatively 

 straight inconspicuous veins, these much less branched than 

 those of S. Hava; scapes about as tall as the leaves ; sepals 

 widest near the base, tapering to the narrow but blunt apex, 

 resembling the petals in texture ; petals greenish yellow, 5 to 

 6 centimeter long, fiddle-shaped ; blades rhombic ovate, the 

 abruptly widened basal portion nearly 2 centimeter long, 

 rhombic obovate; capsule similar to those of C. Hava, but 

 with longer processes. In swamps. South Carolina to 

 Georgia and Alabama. Spring." 



The above observations suggest the possible existence of a 

 species with yellow flowers, distinct from 5". Hava and 5".
