The Appalachian Relative of Sarracenia flava^ Edgar T. "Wherry In an article on undescribed and little known plants of Ala- bama, which appeared in 1897, Mohr^ mentioned a pitcher- plant growing along Little River, in De Kalb County. He decided it to be identical with Sarracenia cateshaei Elliott, but as it was obviously related to S. flava, he reduced its status and named it S. flava cateshaei. Three years later Kearney^ applied to this mountain plant the name S. flava var. oreo- phila, but failed to validate it by furnishing any descriptive data. When he came to prepare his volume on the flora of the state, Mohr^ noted this plant to be readily distinguished from the very closely allied Sarracenia flava by the strictly erect leaves with ventral wing narrower and the sides of the broad dark purple veined lamina scarcely if at all reflexed, and used Elliott's name for it. The same usage was followed by Harbison^ in reporting a new locality. Elliott's S, cateshaei was subsequently found by Macfar- lane^ to represent a hybrid between S. flava and S. purpurea, showing Mohr's application of the name to be erroneous; he did not regard Mohr's plant as distinct from S. flava. Some years later, however. Harper^ called attention to another point of difference, namely the presence of short recurved ensiform leaves. In 1932 living plants were collected near Center, Cherokee County, Alabama, and the following March these bloomed in Mr. Burk's greenhouse at Latham Park. Many differences from S. flava were shown, and as no intergradation appears to occur, and their ranges are distinct, they are here classed as independent species, the new one becoming: 1 Contribution from the Botanical Laboratory and Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania. 2 Bull.
