104. Darlingtonia californica Torr.
Bullard Basin, near Dorleska, in the Salmon Mts. of Trinity
County, Canadian Zone, at an altitude of 1900 m.
Abundant in meadows from Coffee Creek to Dorleska and'
Union Creek, associated with Veratrum californicum, Selenium,'
Bigelovii, Senecio triangularis, Mimulus primuloides, etc. The sur-
rounding forests are of Abies concolor, Finns ponderosa Jeffreyi,
and. Libocedrus decurrens. The plants sometimes grow sparsely
along rivulets flowing through the meadows, but more commonly
they form compact beds, especially the pitchers, among which
grasses and other plants grow with difficulty. There are very
many more leaves than flower-stalks. All but the youngest con-
tain insects and a liquid, so that it is necessary to slit them before
drying. The evil odor of the liquid and carrion is decidedly
noticeable.
Collected by H. M. Hall (no. 8661), July 25, 1909.
