sarracenia leucophylla var. alba

Sarracenia leucophylla var. alba yellow flower 'Standard Look' Washington Co, AL

Washington Co, AL

First described
2017

A typical Wash. Co, AL leucophylla — tall + slender, alata-leaning shape, yellow flower, white pigments stretching down the petiole. Mike's framework is built around this clone as a 'standard' representative of the broader Wash. Co alba population. 11 Mike photos (2017-2019).

Standout traits

  • Embodies the 'standard look' Mike attributes to Wash. Co, AL leucos: tall + slender, alata-leaning shape, white pigments stretching down the petiole
  • Yellow flower (with red blush; 'hybridy' look)
  • Spade-like lip shape — Mike: 'similar to some alatas and even rubra wherryis'
  • Spring traps whiter than fall under Mike's conditions
  • Slightly chameleon-like — varies year to year
  • Spring/summer traps surprisingly colorful (Mike, 2019-07-15)
  • Mike's hypothesis: nearly all Wash. Co leucos may carry distant alata or rubra wherryi introgression — alata 'color genes' less dominant than the structural shape contribution

Cultivation

No clone-specific cultivation notes. Standard alba leucophylla care.
