- First described
- 2015
- Type
- extinct or near extinct wild site cultivation relic
Mike's Calhoun Co cultivation-rescue leuco from a county where most wild populations are destroyed. Notable for early-fall pitcher production. 2015 single-photo-set documentation.
Standout traits
- **Conservation-relevant** — Mike (post #1, 2015): roadside-ditch leucos in Calhoun gone now; outstanding roseas + giant psittacinas at the same road also extinct
- **Early-fall pitcher production** — formed traps ~2 weeks ago in mid-Aug; Mike's NorCal cultivation typically doesn't see fall leuco pitchers until early September
- Possible Chipola FL connection — corey216 (post #2, 2015) flagged Bednar-source Chipola leucos may be related
Cultivation
- Outdoor NorCal.
- Early-fall production trait worth tracking — environmental vs genetic not yet disentangled.
