does anyone have any pictures ??

[Bauer]

I've got this one, this is a photo that a friend sent me, I've got a Sarracenia purpurea ssp venosa var Burkii

But here is un var. Montana

[wijaya]

Is this the same as above pic?


As I am not sure what variant I have.

[frogsintn2]

its hard to say just by looking at it. to me most purps look alike. were the seed or plant was collected helps greatly in the ID'ing. do you know what county/state it came from?? someone else here on the board may be able to help you more. var. montana is only found in transylvania county nc.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the comment, I got it from Cameroon Highland Malaysia, so probably it is not Montana, probably mine just S. Purpurea spp. venosa var. venosa.

It's not var. montana. It might even be a hybrid.

I think it's a hybrid, I'm french, we find a lot of them next to home

Here is my Sarracenia purpurea ssp venosa var Burkii:

Hi there,

I have another one, this one is a purpurea hybrid but not sure what variant, are they burkei as well?

[Bauer]

Your Sarracenia is a Sarracenia 'Paradisia' Dude

This plant has been also been indentified as a species different from Sarracenia purpurea, and there are many differences that demonstrate it should not be part of the subspecies venosa at the very least: This photograph shows Sarracenia rosea.

Sarracenia purpurea venosa montana is an extremely rare plant, it can usually be found growing near with the equally rare S. oreophila and S. rubra jonesii.

Both photos at the top of the thread could show this rare plant, but the second is odd. However, the various populations of this taxon are far apart so some divergence should be expected.

Thanks Bauer, cool now I know mine is S. Paradisia, but is this a sub species, variants or a hybrid?
