Hey all you Sarracenia experts.


How can you tell a S. rubra from a S Alata. All of the pictures I
have seen seem to be very similar. I think the flower structure is
different and S. Alata is larger than S. rurbra.

I have a small S. rubra or S. alata and am trying to nail down it
species.


Maybe the CP database on the WEBB can be modified to show the
sarracenia species and there key structural differences. I guess the
ones that really seem very similar are (S. flava, S Oreophilla) and
(S. alata, S. rubra).

Thanks
Rick
