First described: 2022

Origin

Mike's wild-sourced S. leucophylla population from Covington Co, Alabama. Mike documents the population as a whole alongside its many individually-named selections.

Standout traits

Population overall resembles Okaloosa Co, FL leucos in form.
Higher than typical proportion of red forms.
Several albas, including some that color up well — others have red-body traits.
Many girth-heavy clones, even at modest trap height.

Standout traits

Population-level resemblance to Okaloosa Co, FL leucos.
High proportion of red forms in the mix.
Several albas, including ones that color up unusually well.
Frequent individuals with substantial girth even when traps are short.
Includes albas with red bodies — uncommon trait combination.
Includes round-mouth, well-shaped clones.

Cultivation

Population entry — sub-clones at varying stages of selection. Some albas don't always color to full alba potential year over year; Mike notes one proven alba clone "doesn't look too alba-ish this year" (2022-10-01).
