Yellow-winged or Pale Pitcher Plant

The pitchers have a pale yellow-green color and the flower petals are creamy to yellow-white. Its leaves, like those of other plants in this family, are hollow with an open, partially covered top. Water collects in these pitchers and insects are trapped, decomposed, and partially absorbed by the plant. Flowers hang at the tip of leafless stems, facing downward. There are 3 bracts, 5 sepals, 5 petals, and many stamens. The style has an extraordinary shape, like an umbrella upside down, with a stigma beneath each of the 5 angles.
