A new site:
Early the next day I left the
resort for a different site. This place contained a
large population of Sarracenia oreophila, in fact it is
the only place where Sarracenia oreophila is
known from the state. (This species is also only known in one
site in Georgia--all the other sites for this species are in
Alabama.)
My driving instructions were necessarily precise, because these
plants would have been otherwise impossible to find. I parked my car at
the mandated point, passed the "NO TRESPASSING" signs
(recall that I had permission from the owners) and, after some
impressive navigation errors on my part, finally managed to find the
site. It was a clearing about a few acres in size on a gently sloping
site. And there they were: Sarracenia oreophila!
