428 Macfarlane on the History, Structure and 
In the “Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club,’’ Volume 
XXIV, 1897, are: “Notes on some undescribed and little 
known plants of the Alabama Flora,” by Dr. Charles Mohr. 
On page 23 he refers thus to Sarracenia flava Catesbaei 
(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, 
S. 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. Catesbae: and Isoetes Engelmann 
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. fava; 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. flava, 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 S. fava and S.
