Common in ponds and slow streams. Very pink flowers are col- 
lected in shallow ponds at Gloucester and Danvers, but not to be 
compared to the pink lilies from Barnstable, Mass. 
Var. minor, Sims. 
Apparently nothing more than a small form of the common pond- 
lily with smaller leaves and flowers, the petals and sepals being 
more obtuse. Common in Chebacco and some other ponds.

our ponds.

Sarracenia purpurea, L. (PITCHER-PLANT ; SIDE-SADDLE FLOWER.)

of many rows of sepals, one circle within another.
