Sarracenia leucophylla Raf.

Plants forming dense clumps; rhizomes 1-2.5 cm diam. Pitchers marcescent, appearing just after or with flowers, spring flush of pitchers followed by delayed flush of similar-shaped, more robust pitchers in late summer, erect, green proximally, distal portion of tube with white areolae all around and with conspicuous green to pink to red venation, 25-100 cm, thick, firm, surfaces glabrous or very finely pubescent, wings 0.5-1.5(-2) cm wide; orifice ovate, 2-6(-8) cm diam., rim white to green or reddish, flaring and loosely revolute, often with prominent, everted indentation immediately distal to wing forming spout over wing; hood recurved adaxially, held well beyond and covering orifice, dominated by white areolae bordered by tissues and veins that are white, green, or red, orbiculate-reniform to ovate-reniform, undulate, 2.5-6.5 × 2-6(-8) cm, longer than wide, base cordate, not narrowed to neck, 0.5-1.5 cm, (proximal margins abaxially revolute), apiculum (1-)2-3 mm, adaxial surface densely strigose with hairs to 1.5 mm. Phyllodia 5-6(-8), erect, oblanciform, 15-50 × 2-3 cm. Scapes 30-80 cm, shorter than pitchers; bracts 0.5-1 cm. Flowers slightly fragrant; sepals maroon, 3.5-5 × 1.8-3 cm; petals maroon to red, distal portion orbiculate to rhombic, 4-5 × 1.5-3.5 cm, margins entire; style disc blush red, 6-7 cm diam. Capsules 1.5-2 cm diam., acropetally dehiscent. Seeds 1.5-2.1 mm. 2n = 26.

Grows in wet habitats. In Australia it was found growing in a hanging swamp on the edge of a rock platform of Narrabeen sandstone; associated with Sphagnum, Lepidosperma sp., Gymnoschoenus sphaerocephalus, Lepyrodia scariosa, Empodisma minus, Drosera binata, Epacris pulchella and Leptospermum juniperinum.

Often cultivated as an ornamental carnivorous plant. In the United States in some managed areas, the attractive tubes are harvested and sold, fresh or dried, as 'cut flowers' (Mellichamp & Case 2009).

Can be grown by seedlings. Seeds needs stratification.
