Sarracenia × Swaniana
''Sarracenia × swaniana'' is a nothospecies of carnivorous plant from the genus ''Sarracenia'' in the family Sarraceniaceae described by hort. and Nichols. It is a hybrid between ''Sarracenia purpurea'' subsp. ''venosa'' and ''Sarracenia minor ''Sarracenia minor'', also known as the hooded pitcherplant, is a perennial, terrestrial, rhizomatous, herbaceous, carnivorous plant in the genus '' Sarracenia''.

Hybrid Name
In botanical nomenclature, a hybrid may be given a hybrid name, which is a special kind of botanical name, but there is no requirement that a hybrid name should be created for plants that are believed to be of hybrid origin. The ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'' (ICNafp) provides the following options in dealing with a hybrid: * A hybrid may get a name if the author considers it necessary (in practice, authors tend to use this option for naturally occurring hybrids), but it is recommended to use parents' names as they are more informative (art. H.10B.1). * A hybrid may also be indicated by a formula listing the parents. Such a formula uses the multiplication sign "×" to link the parents. ** "It is usually preferable to place the names or epithets in a formula in alphabetical order. The direction of a cross may be indicated by including the sexual symbols (♀: female; ♂: male) in the formula, or by placing the female parent first. If a non-alpha ...

Carnivorous Plant
Carnivorous plants are plants that derive some or most of their nutrients from trapping and consuming animals or protozoans, typically insects and other arthropods, and occasionally small mammals and birds. They have adapted to grow in waterlogged sunny places where the soil is thin or poor in nutrients, especially nitrogen, such as acidic bogs. They can be found on all continents except Antarctica, as well as many Pacific islands. In 1875, Charles Darwin published '' Insectivorous Plants'', the first treatise to recognize the significance of carnivory in plants, describing years of painstaking research. True carnivory is believed to have evolved independently at least 12 times in five different orders of flowering plants, and is represented by more than a dozen genera. This classification includes at least 583 species that attract, trap, and kill prey, absorbing the resulting available nutrients. Venus flytraps (''Dionaea muscipula''), pitcher plants, and bladderworts ('' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sarracenia
''Sarracenia'' ( or ) is a genus comprising 8 to 11 species of North American pitcher plants, commonly called trumpet pitchers. The genus belongs to the family Sarraceniaceae, which also contain the closely allied genera '' Darlingtonia'' and '' Heliamphora''. ''Sarracenia'' is a genus of carnivorous plants indigenous to the eastern seaboard of the United States, Texas, the Great Lakes area and southeastern Canada, with most species occurring only in the south-east United States (only '' S. purpurea'' occurs in cold-temperate regions). The plant's leaves have evolved into a funnel or pitcher shape in order to trap insects. The plant attracts its insect prey with secretions from extrafloral nectaries on the lip of the pitcher leaves, as well as a combination of the leaves' color and scent. Slippery footing at the pitcher's rim causes insects to fall inside, where they die and are digested by the plant with proteases and other enzymes. Description ''Sarracenia'' are herb ...

Sarraceniaceae
Sarraceniaceae are a family of pitcher plants, belonging to order Ericales (reassigned from Nepenthales). The family comprises three extant genera: ''Sarracenia'' (North American pitcher plants), '' Darlingtonia'' (the cobra lily or California pitcher plant), and ''Heliamphora'' (sun pitchers). The extinct '' Archaeamphora longicervia'' may also belong to this family, although later studies question that interpretation. All three are carnivorous plants that lure insects with nectar and use their elongated, tube-shaped leaves filled with water and digestive enzymes to catch and consume them. Digestive enzymes are not always produced by the plants themselves. Digestive mutualisms are common in Sarraceniaceae: both ''Sarracenia'' and ''Darlingtonia'' rely on commensal bacteria to supplement or produce all of their enzymes. Many species also use downward-pointing hairs and waxy secretions to make it difficult for insects to escape. ''Sarracenia'' and ''Darlingtonia'' are native to ...

Sarracenia Purpurea
''Sarracenia purpurea'', the purple pitcher plant, northern pitcher plant, turtle socks, or side-saddle flower, is a carnivorous plant in the family Sarraceniaceae. Taxonomy The species is further divided into two subspecies, ''S. purpurea'' subsp. ''purpurea'' and ''S. purpurea'' subsp. ''venosa''. The former is found north of New Jersey north, while the latter is found south of New Jersey and tolerates warmer temperatures. In 1999, ''Sarracenia purpurea'' subsp. ''venosa'' var. ''burkii'' was described as a species of its own: ''Sarracenia rosea''. This re-ranking has been debated among carnivorous plant enthusiasts since then, but further Morphology (biology), morphological evidence has supported the split. The following species and infraspecific Taxon, taxa are usually recognized: *''Sarracenia purpurea'' subsp. ''purpurea'' **''Sarracenia purpurea'' subsp. ''purpurea'' f. ''heterophylla'' **''Sarracenia purpurea'' subsp. ''purpurea'' f. ''ruplicola'' (invalid) *''Sarracenia p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sarracenia Minor
''Sarracenia minor'', also known as the hooded pitcherplant, is a perennial, terrestrial, rhizomatous, herbaceous, carnivorous plant in the genus '' Sarracenia''. Like all the ''Sarracenia'', it is native to North America. Etymology In 1788, the first description of ''S. minor'' was written by Thomas Walter. The specific epithet ''minor'' means "small" and refers to the typical size of the pitchers. The common name refers to the characteristic lid of this species. Description The typical form is a relatively small plant with pitchers about in height. An especially large form, with pitchers up to high, grows in the Okefenokee marshes,D’Amato, Peter. 1998.
