Botanical Quiz

[Loddfafner]

Here is a botanical version of the geography quiz. As with similar threads, whoever answers the question to the poster's satisfaction (confirmed by a response) gets to post the next one. If it goes unsolved for a few days then anyone can barge in with a fresh question. So, to get things started:

What are the English and Latin names of this plant, and where does it grow?

[Electronic God-Man]

White Pitcher Plant - Sarracenia leucophylla

It grows in the moist and low-nutrient longleaf pine savannas along the United States Gulf Coast generally west of the Apalachicola River on the Florida Panhandle.

I spent way too much time trying to get that name for a quiz that I will have zero future success in.

Sure is. Which leads me to my next question....how do you people know this stuff off-hand?
