sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora

Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora 'black throat' Liberty Co, FL

Liberty Co, FL

First described
2018

A Liberty Co rubricorpora with a near-completely-BLACK throat — three sibling black-throated plants in Mike's tray. Environmental cause ruled out by neighbors showing normal red throats. 9 Mike photos (2018-2025).

Standout traits

  • Almost completely BLACK throat — distinctive trait among rubricorporas
  • 3 sibling black-throated plants in Mike's tray; environmental cause ruled out by neighboring plants showing normal red throats
  • Slow to color up after transplanting (2 years post-division to recover full color expression)
  • Population also includes a thin-necked sibling clone (Mike, 2023-07-20)

Cultivation

  • Slow to recover color after division — ~2 years after Mike's transplant before full color returned.
  • Standard rubricorpora care.

Naming

Mike's descriptive 'black throat' label — references the near-completely-black throat coloration. Three black-throated siblings exist in Mike's tray; he believes they're a genetic group (other plants in the same tray show normal red throats, ruling out environmental cause).
