notes:
This plant is described in the text as being a plant which grows in salt marshes and has leaves like tankards which form close to the root. The author describes the leaves, stalks, and flowers as being as red as blood. The purple pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea, is often entirely red and is a carnivorous plant found in bogs or marshes. Its leaves are formed as hollow cups which hold water and attract insects. It was used by native Americans against smallpox.
