Sarracenia x catesbaei

Sarracenia x catesbaei
Sarracenia (flava * purpurea)

Possibly the commonest of the hybrids, occurring naturally through coastal North and South Carolina and parts of Georgia, north Florida and Alabama.
In cultivation the hybrid is frequently produced. It generally has large, wide upright pitchers with prominent hoods, and can be brightly coloured. There is something rather bow-legged and bloated about the plants. They remind me of gangs of corpulent school bullies leaning against a fence and chewing gum with their mouths open.
In taxonomic terms, the name Sarracenia x catesbaei includes all the hybrids with only S.flava and S.purpurea in their make up. That is, all back crosses, inbreedings and subsequent generations. So, if you'll pardon the phrase, you know where you can stick S.x melanorhoda.
