sun pitcher
heliamphora latin

The species are collectively known as sun pitchers, based on the mistaken notion that the heli of Heliamphora is from the Greek helios, meaning "sun".

The species of the genus Heliamphora, which are popularly known as marsh pitchers (or erroneously as sun pitchers), have a simple rolled-leaf pitcher, at the tip of which is a spoon-like structure that secretes nectar.

By this definition, many sun pitcher plants (Heliamphora) and the cobra lily (Darlingtonia californica) would not be included on a roster of carnivorous plants because they rely on symbiotic bacteria and other organisms to produce the necessary proteolytic enzymes.

The latter is known to host Heliamphora while the former is not.

The simplest ones are probably those of Heliamphora, the marsh pitcher plant.

No Heliamphora have been recorded from this group.

More than half of all known Heliamphora species have been described by Wistuba.

Twenty-three species of Heliamphora are currently recognised, and these are listed in the table below.

Heliamphora plants also require a high humidity level, which can be achieved in a greenhouse or terrarium.

Misting 'Heliamphora' with purified water is often beneficial to maintain high humidity levels.

All Heliamphora are herbaceous perennial plants that grow from a subterranean rhizome.

Heliamphora heterodoxa can tolerate higher temperatures, due to its mainly lowland origins.

The book gives a detailed account of all 23 species of Heliamphora recognised at the time of its publication.

Heliamphora nutans was the first Heliamphora to be described and is the best known species.

On insect attractants from pitcher plants of the genus Heliamphora (Sarraceniaceae).

Mr. Simmons's favorite insectivore is the Heliamphora, which is from Venezuela.

Archaeamphora longicervia also shows a resemblance to species of the genus Heliamphora in having pitchers with a long neck and upright lid.

It is one of four Heliamphora taxa formally described by Julian A. Steyermark.

The first two are native to North America while Heliamphora is native to South America.

Sarraceniaceae (Heliamphora).

Heliamphora elongata (Sarraceniaceae), a new species from Ilu-Tepui.

All Heliamphora species are endemic to the tepuis of the Guiana Highlands and their surrounding uplands.

Species in the genus 'Heliamphora' are carnivorous plants that consist of a modified leaf form that is fused into a tubular shape.

This Heliamphora is closely related to H. glabra and the latter was for a long time considered a form of H. heterodoxa.

Three new species of Heliamphora (Sarraceniaceae) from the Guayana Highlands of Venezuela.

The species are collectively known as sun pitchers, based on the mistaken notion that the heli of Heliamphora is from the Greek helios, meaning "sun".

Germination of Heliamphora seed is achieved by scattering it on milled sphagnum moss and keeping in bright light and humid conditions.

Three Heliamphora species are native to Angasima Tepui: the undescribed endemic H. sp.
