Mountain sweet pitcher plant

Sarracenia rubra subsp. jonesii, the mountain sweet pitcher plant, grows only in the mountains on the border of North and South Carolina, USA. It was described as the species S. jonesii in 1929 and has since been treated as a form or subspecies of S. rubra; botanists still disagree on its rank (GBIF accepts S. jonesii, while CITES lists it as a subspecies of S. rubra). The pitchers are slender green tubes with maroon veins, larger than those of S. rubra: about 43-61 cm tall and 2.8-4.2 cm across the mouth (S. rubra is 26-45 cm). The tube is said to swell slightly in its upper third and narrow just below the mouth, though this varies with growing conditions. The maroon flowers are fragrant and appear from April to June. It grows in seepage bogs and 'cataract bogs', where water sheets over sloping granite, and only about ten sites are known. Changes in water flow and poaching have reduced it, and it is listed as Endangered under the US Endangered Species Act. An all-green form lacking red pigment has reportedly been lost from the wild to poachers. It is occasionally offered in Japan by specialist nurseries and at auctions, but as an Appendix I plant it needs a registration certificate to be transferred.
