  BOTANICAL 
  GAZETTE. 
  [July 
  

  

  seems 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  collected 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Douglas 
  Houghton 
  on 
  

   i-resque 
  Isje, 
  when 
  he 
  accompanied 
  Schoolcraft 
  to 
  the 
  source 
  

   o 
  the 
  Mississippi 
  in 
  1832, 
  since 
  he 
  mentions 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  list 
  of 
  

   plants 
  appended 
  to 
  the 
  narrative 
  of 
  the 
  expedition. 
  But 
  he 
  

   seems 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  in 
  doubt 
  as 
  to 
  its 
  specific 
  character, 
  the 
  

   notice 
  of 
  the 
  plant 
  reading, 
  " 
  Pinguicula 
  (n. 
  spec.) 
  Pre^que 
  

   isie, 
  i^ake 
  bupenor." 
  My 
  specimens 
  seem 
  in 
  no 
  way 
  pecu- 
  

   lai 
  the 
  only 
  characteristic 
  not 
  anywhere 
  mentioned 
  being 
  

   tne 
  deeply 
  violet 
  or 
  almost 
  purple 
  tinge 
  of 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  leaves. 
  

   nence 
  1 
  take 
  this 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  plant, 
  since 
  the 
  two 
  other 
  north- 
  

   em 
  species 
  of 
  Pinguicula, 
  P.
