Ixxiv Proceedings of the Botanical Soctety of 
lished under charge of a competent expert, and thousands 
of young plants were almost ready to be set out. 
Miss Hollinshead then gave some “Observations on a 
Recent Trip to the Carolinas,” 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 flava 
and purpurea, also a small quantity of S. rubra, were 
obtained. Dionza 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 
Anthoceros, 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 
flava, S. vartolaris, S. purpurea and S. rubra as found at 
Summerville and Wilmington, and of the abundant occur- 
rence and relation to the others of S. 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. Elliottu, possibly 
nana, of Chapman’s Flora. He drew attention to a single 
plant of S. flava bearing forty-one flower stalks, and to a 
color-variety of the same species found near Ruskin, Ga. 
A large exhibit of Sarracenias, Dionea, etc., from the 
University greenhouses served to illustrate the above obser- 
vations.
