First record of Drosera in Wyoming 

 Margaret T. Doutt 



On July 20, 1930, the writer collected specimens of Drosera 

 anglica Huds. (D. longifolia in the sense of Rydberg) 1 in the 

 southwestern section of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. 

 Previously this genus has not been reported as occurring in that 

 state, the nearest locality being Red Fish Lake, Blaine County, 

 Idaho, approximately two hundred miles to the southwest. 



This section of the Park is known as Bechler Meadows, an 

 extensive stretch of open swampy meadow, broken by patches of 

 slightly higher ground bearing Lodgepole Pine. The elevation is 

 6400 feet. To the north and east, the Meadows are bounded by 

 Madison and Pitchstone plateaus respectively, which rise to an 

 elevation of about 8600 feet, and to the south by the Grand 



Map showing distribution of Drosera anglica Huds. in western United States.
