334 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT.
Sarracenia psittacina Mx.
Often with the preceding, and ranging farther east. Grows on shallow peat in some of the bays in the flatwoods of Jefferson County.
Georgia to Louisiana, in the coastal plain.
Sarracenia purpurea L.
Sometimes with the two preceding, but less common than either in Florida. Grows on shallow peat at the edges of estuarine swamps in Santa Rosa County.
Widely but very irregularly distributed in temperate Eastern North America, almost confined to the glaciated region and coastal plain.
DROOSERACEAE. Sundew Family. Drosera capillaris Poir. (D. brevifolia Pursh?)
Sandy bogs, low pine lands, lake shores, etc.; common. Sometimes in bays (Leon and Jefferson Counties) and peat prairies (Lake and Polk Counties.) Not observed in the neighborhood of the Everglades.
Virginia (?) to Louisiana, in the coastal plain.
NYMPHAEACEAE. Water-lily Family.
Castalia odorata (Dryand.) Woody. & Wood. White Water-lily.
(PLATES 22.2, 25.2. FIG. 22.)
Widely distributed in the northern half or two-thirds of the State, in permanent coffee-colored water not more than a few feet deep, either stagnant or gently flowing. (Stunted forms are often found in shallow depressions of peat prairies, where the water is never more than a few inches deep, and sometimes dries up completely.) This, like most of the other members of the family, is one of the pioneers in peat formation, such plants as the Virginia creeper and sweet gum representing the other extreme, or culmination of the series.
The variety gigantea, or latifolia, a form with considerably larger leaves, but probably not sharply distinguished from the typical plant, grows in permanent lakes, etc., in Franklin, Leon, Lake and Palm Beach Counties.
C. odorata is widely distributed in the glaciated region and coastal plain, while the variety is known only in Florida and the southern edge of Georgia.
Nymphaea orbiculata Small
In shallow lakes, marshy prairies, etc., in Middle Florida. Leor., Madison and Lafayette Counties, especially the first named.
Not known elsewhere, except in a few neighboring counties in Georgia.
Nymphaea macrophylla Small. Bonnets. (FIGS. 23, 26, 27.)
Common throughout the peninsula, in all kinds of fresh water (except muddy, which does not occur there), if not too deep, too shallow, or too shaded. Extends northwestward to the vicinity of Aucilla, Jefferson County.
Not known outside of Florida, except in a small lake in Georgia a few miles north of Hamilton County.
