Sarracenia chelsonii

Sarracenia ×chelsonii is the hybrid S. purpurea × S. rubra, published by Masters in 1877 from a plant raised at Veitch's nursery, and also occurring wild where the parents meet in the Carolinas. Pitchers are short to medium, semi-erect and heavily red veined. Mountain plants of S. purpurea × S. jonesii are now separated as S. ×charlesmoorei.
