the right location is critical. Short term results on private property indicate planting larger specimens into the field have a higher chance of long-term survival compared to planting smaller seedlings. Taxonomy The genus Sarracenia belongs to the family Sarraceniaceae, which also contain the closely allied genera Darlingtonia and Heliamphora. Under the Cronquist system, this family was put in the order Nepenthales along with Nepenthaceae and Droseraceae. The APG II system, however, assigns Sarraceniaceae to the order Ericales and the other two families to the order Caryophyllales. Typically anywhere from 8 to 11 species of Sarracenia are generally recognized, depending on individual opinions on the biological species concept and which among many subspecies and varieties should be elevated to species status, a common lumping and splitting problem in demarcation. Some authorities split the described subspecific taxa of S. rubra into 3 to 5 species. Similarly, S. rosea is not always recognized as a species distinct from S. purpurea. The most commonly recognized species include: Currently, S. rubra can be described as having six subspecies, though it is sometimes argued that the subspecies should be elevated to species rank in recognition of the species complex that they are a part of. This division would yield S. alabamensis, S. gulfensis, S. jonesii, S. rubra sensu stricto, S. viatorum, and S. wherryi. Others have argued that only some of these demand recognition at the species rank. McPherson & Schnell (2011) Stewart McPherson and Donald Schnell carried out a comprehensive taxonomic revision of the genus in their 2011 monograph, Sarraceniaceae of North America. They recognized the following taxa: Sarracenia alata S. alata var. alata(autonym) S. alata var. alata f. viridescensS.McPherson & D.E.Schnell S. alata var. atrorubraS.McPherson & D.E.Schnell S. alata var. cupreaS.McPherson & D.E.Schnell S. alata var. nigropurpureaP.D'Amato ex S.McPherson & D.E.Schnell S. alata var. ornataS.McPherson & D.E.Schnell S. alata var. rubrioperculataS.McPherson & D.E.Schnell Sarracenia flava S. flava var. flava(autonym) S. flava var. flava f. viridescensS.McPherson & D.E.Schnell S. flava var. atropurpurea(Hort.
