'''''Sarracenia minor''''', also known as the '''Hooded pitcher plant''', is a [[carnivorous plant]] in the [[genus]] ''[[Sarracenia]]''. Like all the ''Sarracenia'', it is native to the [[New World]]. The [[specific epithet]] ''minor'' means "small" and refers to the typical size of the pitchers. The common name refers to the characteristic lid of this species. The plant can be found in the coastal regions of northern [[Florida]] up to the southern part of [[North Carolina]]. An especially large form, with pitchers up to four feet high, grows in the [[Okefenokee]] marshes.<ref>D’Amato, Peter. 1998. ''The Savage Garden''. Berkeley. ISBN 0-89815-915-6</ref> The typical form is a relatively small plant with pitchers 25-35 cm in height. ''S. minor'' and ''[[Sarracenia psittacina|S. psittacina]]'' are the only species in the genus to employ domed pitchers with translucent white patches that allow light to enter. It has been suggested that the light shining through these patches attracts flying insects further into the pitcher and away from the pitcher's mouth in a similar manner to ''[[Darlingtonia californica]]'' and two ''[[Nepenthes]]'' species, ''[[Nepenthes aristolochioides|N. aristolochioides]]'' and ''[[Nepenthes klossii|N. klossii]]''. The tubes are mostly green throughout, but can also be reddish in the upper part. [[Flower]]ing occurs from March to May. Flowers are yellow in colour. {{Inc| Sarracenia minor, Walt. (S. variolaris, Michx. S. adunca, Smith). Pitchers erect, 8-24 in. long, gradually enlarging upward, with white areoles and often brownish red streaks above; lid cucullate, incurved over orifice; wing broadest in middle, narrowed above and below: ft. 1-2 in. wide, with pale yellow petals. Moist savanna lands, S. N. C. to N. Fla. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== *''Sarracenia minor'' var.
