DROSERA L. 



Drosera rotundifolia L. Round-leaved Sundew. 



Drosera rotundifolia Linnaeus, Sp. PI. 281. 1753 [Europe, Asia and America]. 

 —Barton Fl. Phila. I. 116. 1818.— Nuttall Gen. I. 141. 1818.— Knicskcrn 

 8. — Britton 104. 



Locally common in bogs throughout the State. 



In the Pine Barrens this species seems to be the least abundant 

 of the three Sundews, but it is the characteristic species of the 

 cedar swamps where the others do not seem to occur. Here it 

 grows deep down in the soft wet billowy masses of sphagnum 

 moss, its slender flower stalk rising sometimes to a height of 

 eight or ten inches. In open places it is much more stunted. 



Fl. — Early ]u\y to late August, apparently slightly earlier than 

 the next.

 Drosei'a intermedia var. Americana Britton 104. 

 Drosera intermedia Keller and Brown 166. 



Occasional or locally common in bogs of the Northern and 

 Middle districts and common throughout the Pine Barrens and 

 Cape May peninsula in damp situations. 



This seems to be the most abundant and most generally dis- 

 tributed species of Sundew in South Jersey. There is consider- 

 able variation in the size and appearance of plants. Those of 

 drier situations have a dense rosette-like cluster of small leaves 

 from which the flower scape arises, while those growing in w^ater 

 or wet sphagnum develop a leafy stem often six to seven inches 

 long; the uppermost leaves, from the midst of which the scape 

 springs, being always the largest and freshest. 



Fl. — Early July to late August.
