Sarracenia leucophylla



Sarracenia leucophylla is probably the most striking of the species. The pitchers have been collected on quite a large scale for use in floral arrangements, a trade that is now declining - as is the species. Historically, it has grown in extensive (impressive) colonies, but these are now declining. Over collection has been blamed on occasion, but the real culprit has probably been lowered water tables caused by drainage of large areas of the south east USA for development and agriculture and the extraction of ground water for expanding communities.
Grows in a broad band from south western Georgia, through the Florida Panhandle and Alabama, just reaching over the state line into south eastern Mississippi, and now declining throughout its range.
The pitchers show a wide range of variation. The palest forms have white tops with very little veining, through green, red and purple veined forms to forms with purple veins and pinkish colour suffusing the white parts. It can also produce dull little runts with greenish squinny pitchers and drab veining. It produces two crops of pitchers during the season. The spring pitchers tend to be taller, but rather narrow and often quite floppy. The autumn crop of pitchers are usually broader, stouter and more spectacular.
