purple, approaching to indigo ; calyx sprinkled with minute hairs. 

 Found by Dr. Loomisin 1832, near Newbern, flowering in July. 



3. Thyrsanthus ^floridana. (Wisteria, JVu^^. Apios, Ph. Glyci- 

 ne, waid.) 



A specimen which I hastily gathered in Florida, appeared to be- 

 long to an undesCribed species of the Thyrsanthus of Elliott, (the 

 Wisteria of Nuttall,) perhaps the species referred to by Mr. N. II. 116. 

 In this specimen the upper lip of the calyx, instead of being " trun- 

 cate and emarginate," was rounded and entire ! the three equal di- 

 visions of the lower lip shorter and less acuminate than in Thyrsan- 

 thus frutescens, El. (Wisteria speciosa, Nutt.) Plant shrubby and 

 twining, leaflets about 6 pair and an odd one, flowers perhaps a httle 

 paler, but in its whole habit strikingly resembling ihe " Carolina Kid- 

 ney-bean," which has received from botanists such a host of names. 



4. Sarracenia * pulchella. 



Leaves three to four inches long, decumbent, purple, spotted near- 

 ly all over with white; dorsal wing broad, lanceolate; appendix 

 nearly closing the tube, and shaped like the head of a parrot ! Grows 

 in the wet pine-barrens of Florida. Flowers in April. . I am inform- 

 ed that Mr. Nuttall had previously discovered this plant, and consi- 

 dered it a new species. Scape about eight inches high, flowers pur- 

 ple. 



5. Argemone * georgiana. (White flowered Argemone.) See 

 Nutt. and Ell. 



Petals usually eight, sometimes seven, white ; capsules 5 — 6 

 valved. Flowers in May.

1. Dionaa muscipula. (Venus's Fly-trap.) 



When Mr. Nuttall published his " Genera of North American 

 Plants," (1818) this curious and wonderful plant was only known to 

 botanists as growing in the neighborhood of Wilmington, N. C. on 

 the north side of the Cape Fear river. Mr. N. traced it thence for 

 fifty miles above. I first saw it in Bladen County, on Black river, a 

 tributary of the Cape Fear. Two years ago. Dr. Loomis and my- 

 self found it in the neighborhood of Newbern, on both sides of 

 Neuse river. Recently, in passing through the county of Duplin, 

 N. C. I found it flowering, and in great abundance, in the wet pine- 

 barrens of that county, associated with Sarracenia flava, and Liatris
