Pitcher Plants Are For The Birds!!

There are some interesting features to this Audubon print of Sarracenia and
mergansers.  Although great artistic license was taken in making the painting
(the juxtaposition of pitcher plants in a salt march with a northern bird) there
are some reasons to think that the featured pitcher plant is Sarracenia oreophila,
a Federally Endangered species. Our reason for thinking this is that the pitcher
plant illustrated has the following traits of S. oreophila:

     1.) plant in flower and foliage at the same time

     2.) wide ala and hood ornamentation characteristic of S.  oreophila

     3.) throat veing and purple blushing characteristic of S. oreophila
