sarracenia leucophylla

Sarracenia leucophylla 'Clone B' Bob Hanrahan property, Southern Baldwin Co, AL

Baldwin Co, AL

Collector
Bob Hanrahan (collected from his Southern Baldwin Co AL property)
First described
2012
Type
single clone locality lettered series

Origin

Wild-collected from the late Bob Hanrahan's property in Southern Baldwin County, Alabama. Mike holds a lettered series of clones from this property; Clone B is one of them. The southern Baldwin Co populations are subtropical and morphologically distinct from the northern Baldwin Co populations (Hurricane Creek, Perdido).

History

  • Pre-2012: Mike acquires Clone B (and other lettered Hanrahan property clones).
  • 2012-09-30 (post #1): first forum documentation, with Mike's discussion of the small-spring/large-fall growth pattern characteristic of this population in CA conditions.
  • 2012-10-01 (sarraceniaobsessed, post #2): confirms Bob's property is in Baldwin Co (typo "FL" in his post — Baldwin Co is in AL).
  • 2012-10-01 (post #3): Mike posts his northern-vs-southern Baldwin Co + introgression hypothesis.

Standout traits

  • Shapely pitcher form.
  • Small spring/summer + large fall flush — Hanrahan-population signature in CA outdoor culture.

Cultivation notes

Patience for the fall flush. Worth testing in warmer / greenhouse culture per Mike's subtropical-preference hypothesis.

7 Mike-Wang photos from late September 2012.

Standout traits

  • Very shapely pitchers — Mike (post #1, 2012) emphasizes form quality
  • Spring/summer traps small; fall traps large and abundant — characteristic of Bob Hanrahan property leucos in Mike's CA conditions
  • Possibly subtropical-preferring due to southern Baldwin Co origin

Cultivation

In Northern California outdoor conditions: small spring/summer traps, then a large fall flush. Mike hypothesizes (post #3, 2012) that warmer conditions might produce larger spring/summer traps, since the wild source is subtropical southern Baldwin Co. Worth testing in greenhouse or warmer-climate culture.

Naming

"Clone B" — Mike's letter-designation within his lettered-clone series of Bob Hanrahan property leucophyllas. Per the cultivar-group caveats in the synthesis recipe, "Clone B" is Mike's informal label, not a registered cultivar.
