Fig. 3. Sarracenia oreophila. Flat Rock, Jackson County, Alabama, June 11, 1933. The Geographic Relations of Sarracenia purpurea^ Edgar T. Wherry Early in 1931 there appeared in a German seriaP a set of maps purporting to show the distribution of the species of Sarracenia. These maps indicated the ranges as extending in some directions many miles beyond any localities cited in the trustworthy literature on these plants, and in other direc- tions not including nearly all the territory covered by definite records. Sarracenia purpurea is shown as occurring in Ken- tucky, West Virginia, and upland Virginia, and as abundant in Tennessee, although as had been pointed out by Harper^ * * no botanist now living seems to have seen it in those states, and no specimens from them are included in the principal herbaria of this country. At the same time, southern New Jersey is excluded from the range, in spite of the fact that Macfarlane* cited twelve and Stone^ twenty-four collections. The map presented herewith is based on the records ob- tained from seven comprehensive herbaria: Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Canadian National Her- barium, Cornell University, Gray Herbarium, New York Botanical Garden, U. S. National Herbarium, and University of Pennsylvania, the last including the material collected by Macfarlane in the preparation of his monograph on the Sarraceniaceae. The literature has also been reviewed. 1 Contribution from the Botanical Laboratory and Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania. 2 Die Pflanzenareale, Ser. 3, No. 1, maps 1 to 3. 1931. 3 Journ.
