sarracenia leucophylla var. alba

Sarracenia leucophylla var. alba Eastern Alabama

AL

First described
2018

A striking var. alba clone from an unspecified Eastern AL locality — discovered in an overgrown community tray after years of neglect, producing photo-worthy fall traps once the surrounding plants thinned. Mike's documentation of this clone exists only via postimg.cc links that are not locally mirrored — see photos_not_mirrored.

Standout traits

  • Striking white expression — Mike (2018) was 'in complete stupor-induced shock' at the brightness
  • Strong contrast extending up into the lid (per hcarlton, 2018)
  • Lurked in a shaded community tray for years before producing photo-worthy fall traps when neighboring plants thinned

Cultivation

  • Required reduced shading from neighboring plants to produce fall pitchers — typical leucophylla light dependency.

Naming

Mike's locality designation. Found within an overgrown community tray after years of neglect; the alba expression emerged once the surrounding tray thinned out enough.
