In wet gravelly woods in Illinois and Virginia. 2/ . July. 
v. v. This singular and elegant grass I found on the 
islands of Roanoak river in North Carolina, and ob- 
served it catching flies in the same manner as Dioncea 
muscipula : the valves of the corolla are nearly of the 
same structure as the leaves of that plant. I commu- 
nicated specimens with this particular circumstance to 
Dr. B. S. Barton of Philadelphia, who has made men- 
tion of it in a paper on the irritability of plants.
