sarracenia leucophylla var. alba

Sarracenia leucophylla var. alba (slightly hybridy) Baldwin Co, AL

Baldwin Co, AL

First described
2015
Type
single clone suspected cryptic hybrid introgression

Mike's Baldwin Co alba clone with subtle alata/rubra wherryi character — suspected cryptic historical introgression. calen's broader hypothesis: this kind of introgression may have driven HCW-style alba expression across the variety.

Standout traits

  • Pure-leuco appearance with subtle alata/rubra wherryi character
  • **calen's hypothesis** (post #2, 2015): historical introgression with rubra/alata may have driven HCW-style alba expression by reducing vein density

Cultivation

  • Outdoor NorCal; 2015 photos show summer traps only (fall traps lost to heat wave).
