The shape of the pitchers is fundamentally different from the rest of the species of Sarracenia, creates a low, creeping along the ground chalices, which have beautiful red-white-and-green coloration. Latin name suggests the characteristic shape of the ends of the traps that resemble a parrot beak. White spots near the hole of traps is not a coincidence, they are arranged strategically, these are places completely devoid of chlorophyll, through which shines a light into the interior of the pitcher. Insect lured by the sweet nectar, arriving the opening of the cup, where from the top shadow cast by the dark-stained ‘beak’ of pitcher – fly begins to follow into the light, going deeper and deeper into the interior of the trap.
This species often grows naturally in the grass and other plants which overgrown them, and therefore does not need to their grow so much light as other species of Sarracenia.
