Abstract Sarracenia purpurea L. plants were studiedin seven bogsalong the eastern seaboard of the United States fromNew Jersey to Georgia. Water sampled from 225 leaveswas found to contain several invertebrates. A singlebdelliod rotifer, a form of Habrotrocha cf. rosaDonner very similar to that described by Bateman(1987) in S. purpurea in western Newfoundland,was identified in 70% of the leaves. Investigationsare in progress to examine the possibility that thisstrong association indicates H. cf. rosa isspecific to S. purpurea.
