sarracenia leucophylla

Sarracenia leucophylla #4,520 cl#1 Washington Co, AL

Washington Co, AL

First described
2018

A Wash. Co, AL leucophylla in distribution under Mike's accession-code naming scheme (a system Mike later regretted). Tall, with strong vein patterns and asymmetric sun/shade white expression on aged traps. Visible alata influence per other growers. 17 Mike photos (2018-2024). Sidorian's Ohio cultivation photos (2019) are broken external links and not mirrored.

Standout traits

  • Tall plant — second-tallest leuco in sidorian's collection (2019), only edged by AJ01
  • Visible alata-influence character per sidorian (2019-09)
  • Heavy pattern + vein expression
  • More colorful with full sun
  • Asymmetric: 'sunny side' of trap is whiter; 'dark side' is greener
  • Surprisingly stretchy white pigment on aged traps
  • Recovers well from winter divisions — pushes decent summer traps the season after

Cultivation

  • Full sun for color and white-pigment expression.
  • Babying improves summer-trap quality.

Naming

Mike's accession code — '4520' is a population code for a Wash. Co, AL leucophylla collection; 'clone#1' is the individual designator (not a quality ranking; just to distinguish individuals from the same population). Mike (2018) acknowledges the code is too cryptic and would have named the clone differently in retrospect, but it's already in circulation under this designator.
