Ixxiv Proceedings of the Botanical Society of 



lished under charge of a competent expert, and thousands 

 of young plants were ahnost ready to be set out. 



Miss Hollinshead then gave some "Observations on a 

 Recent Trip to the Carohnas," and the most noteworthy 

 types of vegetation encountered. The careful protection 

 given to, and the beautiful condition of, the long-leaved 

 pine in and around Summerville, S. C, the first point 

 touched, were favorably commented on. The occurrence 

 and aspect of three species of iris, the Atamasco lily, the 

 tall yellow and dwarf flowered sarracenias, the large bushes 

 — almost trees — of pink azalea and dogwood were dwelt 

 upon. At Wilmington an abundance of Sarracenia Uava 

 and purpurea, also a small quantity of S. rubra, were 

 obtained. Dionaea was well advanced for the season, and 

 showed good experimental results on stimulation. The oaks 

 were in exceptionally fine flowered condition, and a consid- 

 erable set of herbarium specimens was secured. 



Dr. Jane V. Myers then spoke of the finding of several 

 of the above, of rich gatherings made at Summerville of 

 Anthoccros, and of the beauty and value of the long-leaved 

 pine as a tree well suited to that region. 



Dr. Macfarlane gave special details regarding the dis- 

 tribution, periods of blooming, odor and color of Sarracenia 

 Hava, S. variolaris, S. purpurea and 5". rubra as found at 

 Summerville and Wilmington, and of the abundant occur- 

 rence and relation to the others of 5". psittacina, which he 

 collected around Waycross, Ga. He exhibited and described 

 a peculiar dwarf form of Robinia hispida, met with in 

 flower near Jumping Run, Wilmington, and which seemed 

 to be a reduced form of R. hispida, var. EUiottii, possibly 

 nana, of Chapman's Flora. He drew attention to a single 

 plant of 5". Hava bearing forty-one flower stalks, and to a 

 color-variety of the same species found near Ruskin, Ga. 



A large exhibit of Sarracenias, Dioncca, etc., from the 

 University greenhouses served to illustrate the above obser- 

 vations.
