New World pitcher plant family | Sarraceniaceae

Trompetbekerplantfamilie | Sarraceniáceas

Three genera, all American and all with pitchers formed from a rolled leaf: the trumpet pitchers of North America, the cobra lily of California and Oregon, and the sun pitchers on the table mountains of the Guiana Highlands. The build of the pitcher differs widely — a straight trumpet, an inflated hood with a forked tongue, or a plain tube with a drainage slit — but the principle is always the same.
