Excerpt from Companion to the Botanical Magazine, 1836, Vol. 2: Being a Journal, Containing Such Interesting Botanical Information as Does Not Come Within the Prescribed Limits of the Magazine; With Occasional Figures
Dionea muscipula (the Carolina fly-trap). This interesting plant, now common in all the gardens of the curious, but long supposed to be confined in its native country to almost a single habitat, is thus mentioned by Mr. M. A. Curtis, in his Enumeration of the plants growing Spontaneously around Wilmington, in North Carolina, The Dioncea muscipula is found as far North as Newbem, North Carolina, and from the mouth of Cape Fear River nearly to Fayetteville. Elliott says, on the authority of General Pinckney, that it grows along the lower branches of the Santee, in South Carolina, and I think it is not improbable that it inhabits the Se vannahs more or less abundantly from the latter place to Newbem. It is found in great plenty for many miles around Wil mingtou, in every direction.
