Extract

In the description of the Byron Bog (Judd, 1957) it was pointed out that the Pitcher-plant, Sarracenia purpurea L., is a plant commonly associated with leather-leaf, Chamaedaphne calyculata, in the “Chamaedaphnetum calyculatae” association in the bog. The period of blooming of this plant in 1956 was from June 13 to June 22. During this period, and subsequently, collections were made of larvae of the moth Exyra rolandiana Grt. from the flowers and leaves. The moths were kindly identified by Mr. D. F. Hardwick, Systematic Entomology, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.
