Hey folks,
I saw in the latest issue of SIDA (18:4), several authors have written a
description of what they consider to be a new species of Sarracenia!
This species, called Sarracenia rosea, will test the ranks of CPers the
world over, as some may accept it and others may not. Essentially, it is a
subpopulation of plants that, before this paper, would have been lumped
with Sarracenia purpurea subsp. purpurea.
Two of the authors, Case & Case, are long-time workers in Sarracenia, and
their opinions should not be taken lightly... I don't have time to write
more (I'm preparing for some talks and a business trip), so go to your
library, get a copy of the paper, and make your own decisions.
