Sarracenia oreophila is more commonly called the green pitcher plant. Like all plants in the genus Sarracenia it captures and digests insects in its tubular leaves to compensate for the nutrient deficient soils where it grows. Sarracenia oreophila is listed as critically endangered in the wild.

Sarracenia oreophila v. ornata. This American pitcher plant species is sadly critically endangered in its native habitats. This plant, along with S. jonesii and S. purpurea montana, is adapted to growing in hills and mountains of the American South-East. Unfortunately, the higher-altitude bogs which they are native to are extremely sensitive to climate changes, and poaching has already eliminated many populations. Never buy wild collected plants, and be sure to protect your local wild areas!
