As Bugweed mentioned, there is an excellent article by M. Catalani in the March 2004 CPN. For a reliable ID, you probably need to compare a number of traits (getting it from someone who knows the actual location helps to shortcut this process
)
Article: flower taller than pitcher = Sarracenia oreophila. Phyllodia shape is also supposed to be quite reliable. But as Bugweed notes - the flower vs pitcher height is not 100% either. The author was only able to visit 3 stands for the article.
The ICPS seedbank is an excellent source of seed (for what they have)
but I wouldn't make a definitive ID based on getting seed from there. There are just too many ways for mistakes to have been made along the way --- and anyone can send seed in...
