Sarracenia minor and S. psittacina are the only species in the genus to employ domed pitchers with translucent white patches that allow light to enter. It has been suggested that the light shining through these patches attracts flying insects further into the pitcher and away from the pitcher's mouth in a similar manner to Darlingtonia ...
Sarracenia trap insects using pitchers with nectar and slippery footing around the lip The anatomy of S. purpurea. Sarracenia (/ ˌ s ær ə ˈ s iː n i ə / or / ˌ s ær ə ˈ s ɛ n i ə /) is a genus comprising 8 to 11 species of North American pitcher plants, commonly called trumpet pitchers.
The yellow pitcher plant is easy to cultivate, and is one of the most popular carnivorous plants in horticulture. The yellow pitcher plant readily hybridises with other members of the genus Sarracenia: the hybrids S. x catesbaei (S. flava × S. purpurea) and S. moorei (S. flava × S. leucophylla) are found in the wild, and are also popular ...
This re-ranking has been debated among carnivorous plant enthusiasts since then, but further morphological evidence has supported the split. [19] The following species and infraspecific taxa are usually recognized: Sarracenia purpurea subsp. purpurea. Sarracenia purpurea subsp. purpurea f. heterophylla; Sarracenia purpurea subsp. purpurea f ...
Sarracenia rubra, also known as the sweet [1] or purple pitcher plant, is a carnivorous plant in the genus Sarracenia.Like all Sarracenia, it is native to the New World.Its range extends from southern Mississippi, through southern Alabama, the Florida panhandle and Georgia, to the coastal plains of North Carolina and South Carolina.
Sarracenia and Heliamphora could have split around 36 million years ago during Late Eocene. [8] These plants grow in nutrient-poor, often acidic soil and use the insects as a nutritional supplement. As such, growth of carnivorous pitchers is plastic: as soil nitrogen increases, Sarracenia produces fewer pitchers. [9]
Sarracenia alata, also known as yellow trumpets, [1] pale pitcher plant or pale trumpet, is a carnivorous plant in the genus Sarracenia. Specifically, S. alata is an endemic species to North America ; it is native to the southeastern regions of the United States , including parts of the Gulf Coast states .
Sarracenia alabamensis, also known as the cane-brake pitcher plant, is a carnivorous plant in the genus Sarracenia.Like all Sarracenia, it is native to the New World. S. alabamensis subsp. alabamensis is found only in central Alabama, while subsp. wherryi is found in southwestern Alabama, eastern Mississippi and Florida.
