Sarracenia oreophila
Family: Sarraceniaceae
Common Name: green pitcherplant
This is a stemless herbaceous perennial that grows in moist soils usually in full sun. Modified leaves form upright, slender-fluted pitchers of variable height, but typically to 24”. This species also produces a second type of long, slender, linear, winter leaves (phyllodia) resembling those of an iris. Pitchers are narrow with a horizontal lid that prevents most rain from entering the tube.
