No. 808. 
SARRACENIA VARIOLARIS. 
Class, Order. 
POLYANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is a native of Carolina, and was 
introduced in 1803. The leaves are nearly 
a foot in length, the greater part of which 
forms a tube, which at the mouth is half 
covered by a kind of hood: the tube tapers 
to the bottom of the leaf, and contains 
more or less water: the larger part of it is 
very prettily spotted. The flower is as 
curious as the leaf; it comes out in the 
beginning of the summer. 
The plant must be potted in sandy peat, 
and preserved in the stove : it requires much 
moistnre, growing naturally in swamps.
