scape, and aquatic habitat ; but Nymphteaceee differ in their numerous several-seriate petals, placentation, 

 sessile stigma, and double albumen. Certain affinities or analogies have also been indicated, which link 

 Surraceniacea with Droseracea, Pyrolacets, Nepenthes, and Cephalotea, 



[All are natives of America, and chiefly of the United States. Dnrlingtonia inhabits the Rocky 

 Mountains, and Heliamphora the Roruma Mountains of Venezuela. 



Of the properties of Sarraccniaccee little is known. Sarracenia ntbra has been vaunted in Canada as a 

 specific against small-pox, but has not proved such. The pitcher-shaped leaves are effective insect traps : 

 a sugary secretion exudes at the mouth of the pitcher, and attracts the insects, which descend lower in 

 the tube, where they meet with a belt of reflexed hairs, which facilitate their descent into a watery 

 fluid that fills the bottom of the cavity, and at the same time prevent their egress. ED.]
