Sarracenia leucophylla

Sarracenia leucophylla is a regional coastal plain endemic occurring in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi. It can be locally abundant with population sizes in the thousands. While there are hundreds of occurrences with many on protected lands, the species has many threats across it's range. The greatest threats to the species is fire suppression and conversion of habitat to pine plantations.

Sarracenia leucophylla is a regional coastal plain endemic occurring from western Georgia south to Florida and east to southeastern Mississippi.

There are hundreds of known, extant occurrences in coastal Alabama and Florida where the species is most common. There are 2-3 extant occurrences in Georgia with an additional four historic and one extirpated. There are 20 occurrences in Mississippi but about half of those are historic.

The greatest threat to this species is fire suppression which allows invasive species and woody species to encroach on the habitat. Logging and development are threats, directly through habitat loss/conversion and indirectly through siltation of habitat and other downstream impacts. Creating pine plantations, also involve ditching and clearing, prior to planting to pines. Ditching, including for mosquito control, alters the hydrology of the species habitat. Also hillside bogs, where the species can occur, lend themselves to stock pond creation. Hybridization with other species of Sarracenia is known to occur. This species is collected for horticulture but the degree of this threat is unknown. More localized threats include feral pigs, off road vehicles, road maintenance, mowing, and grazing.
