scarcely visible a yard away, being long past flowering. The 

 stems are almost capillary and only two or three inches tall, the 

 leaves had completely disappeared, and the minute capsules had 

 already discharged their seeds. Consequently I did not preserve 

 specimens at that time, but about ten months later (April 26, 

 1904) I revisited the spot and found the plant in better condition 

 (no. 2157), though even then the flowers were gone and the

 instead of in April as in Middle Georgia (or June in the mountains 

 of Alabama, according to Dr. Mohr). 



My locality, if not identical with Nuttall's, must be very near 

 it. Rock outcrops are by no means common in Southeast 

 Georgia, and all I have seen in Tattnall County are within five 

 miles of each other. Nuttall, in describing a supposed new species 

 of Sarraccnia (S. ca/a'o/a/a),* states that he found it " particu- 

 larly within a few miles of the new court house" in Tattnall County, 

 and it is highly probable that he got the ylrcnaria at about the 

 same time f and place. The Sarraccnia (now referred to
