Dear Tom,

Well, I would hesitate to do this with any species of _Sarracenia_ but the
eastern group of _Heliamphora_ does at least seem to approach the
sub-carnivorous condition. But as I list all known "true" cp families
completely (i.e. together with their less carnivorous members), I will
retain Sarraceniaceae (cps + sub-cps) completely, and exclude Bromeliaceae
(sub-cps + non-cps) completely.

Kind regards
Jan
