On the southern confines of 8. Carolina, 
Sarracenia rubra was pat Iree but its 
environment was not w agined, 
Along one side of a lovely 1 lake that was j fringed 
by tall Cypresses, i i

shade. To. find it thus sheltered might 
almost say as contrary to my expecta- 
tions, but when met with uently the 
conditions of the sam finer 
pitchers were from 12 to 15 inches long, but 
stretch 
in the forests of long-leaved Pine, and 
far as thb. eye could reach were the tall yellow- 
n tubes of S. flava clustered in groups of 
three to twenty. Further on in our journey we 
could distinguish plants of S. variolaris inter- 
with the last, but distinguished alike by 
spotted hood and shorter habit.

The locality we had selected as our next hunt- 
ing ground was about thirty miles inland from 
Charleston, S. C., and proved to be a veritable 
haunt of the fly-catohers. The sod round the 
negro cabins was dotted over with S. variolaris, 
but every tube exactly resembled its neighbour 
except in size. Not so with the stately S. flava, 
ile many 
of the plants were of a uniform li 
colour, Aae were gathered that showed 
rich crimson veins traversing the lid and
