One paper I remember was on the (flavonoid?) components of the perianth and
phylogenetic relationships of _Sarracenia_ spp. between each other by
SCHNELL in Castanea (?, have to check).

But the original question affected:

>>relationship between Nepenthes and Sarracenia?

and not evolution within _Sarracenia_.

Kind regards
