Ill. Remarks upon the genus SARRACENIA. 
Ever since I met with the species of Sarracenia, of which I gave 
some account in the number of this Journal for October last, under 
the name of S. pulchella, I have felt a suspicion that it is the true origi- 
nal of Michaux’s S. psittacina, which later botanists have united with 
S. rubra, Walt. from which this species is very distinct, and forming 
apparently an intermediate species between S. variolaris and S. rubra. 
Mr. Elliott, has remarked the discrepancy between Michaux’s de- 
scription of his S. psittacina, and Walter’s S. rubra, particularly in 
the ‘recurved, fornicated appendix” of the former. Michaux’s de- 
scription of his S. psittacina applies very well to the species under 
consideration. As quoted by Pursh it is as follows: “ Polis brevi- 
bus, superne coloratis, venoso-reticulatis, ala ventrali, sursum sub- 
cuneatim latescente, tubo sensim in appendicem recurvatam rotunda- 
tim fornicatam mucronatam desinente.” As I before remarked, the 
appendix of this species, resembles the head of a parrot, and it is the 
only species in which such a resemblance is striking. The leaves too 
are shorter than those of either of the other species, and therefore pe- 
culiarly deserving the application of the word ‘ brevibus” while those 
of S. rubra, so far as my observation has extended, are as long, as and 
even longer than those of S. variolaris. The white spots on the 
leaves, which I have mentioned, may be what Michaux intended by 
the term coloratis, while their purple veins (which I omitted to men- 
tion,) are well expressed by “‘ venoso-reticudatis.” In my former ac-
