and 7 species. 
SARRACENIA. Tourn. 
In memory of Dr. Sarrazen of Quebec, the discoverer of the genus. 
Calyx of 5 sepals, with 3 small bracts at base; petals 5,deciduous; 
stigma very large, peltate, persistent, covering the ovary and sta- 
mens ; capsule 5-celled, 5-valved, many-seeded. 
S. purPuREA. Side-saddle Flower. 
Iws.(ascidia) radical, decumbent, inflated, contracted at the mouth, winged 
on the inner side, ending in a broad-cordate, erect lamina.—One of the most 
curious of plants. Grows in wet meadows and about mud lakes, Lab. to Flor. 
Leaves 6—9’ long, rosulate, ever-green, composed of a hollow, pitcher-form 
petiole (?) swelling in the middle, with a wing-like appendage extending the 
whole length inside, from 3—1’ wide, and extended on the outside of the mouth . 
into a lamina (?), covered above with reversed hairs. Their capacity when 
of ordinary size is about a wine-glass, and they are generally full of water 
with drowned insects. Scape 14—20’ high, terete, smooth, supporting a single 
large, purple, nodding flower, almost as curious in structure as the leaves. Jn.

An order consisting of 18 genera and 130 species, more than two-thirds of which are natives of Europe. 
The order is characterized by active narcotic properties, principally resident in the turbid juices. The 
seeds are commonly rich in fixed oil. Several of the species are highly ornamental in cultivation.
