. Contributions from the Botanical Laboratory, vol. 11. Botany; Botany. 8 PROCEEDINGS OF THE Sarracenia oreophila (Kearney) Wherry, species nova Plate 1, figs. 2 and 3. S. flava oreophila Kearney, nomen nudum; Harper, nomen subnudum. S. cateshaei Mohr et al., not Elliott. Flat ensiform leaves short and numerous; hollow leaves (pitchers) up to 75 cm. tall, moderately constricted at junc- tion with hood, well developed at flowering time; scent of flowers faint, musty but not unpleasant; style-umbrella spar- ingly pubescent to glabrate; petals little longer than the sepals, the blade narrow, greenish yellow, firm in texture and remaining outspread during anthesis. (Folia ensiformia numerosa; amphorae ad 75 cm. longae, opercuU marginibus inf erioribus parum constrictae; odor floris non ingratus; umbraculum styli sparse pubescens vel glabra- tum; petala parum sepalis excedentia, laminis angustioribus viridi-flavescentibus rigidis per anthesem expansa.) Sarracenia flava L. differs in having longer leaves, flowers with disagreeable feline scent, pubescent style-umbrella, and larger pale yellow petals of more delicate texture.
