S. willisii ?

Hello all,
I was looking at the description of Sarracenia leucophylla 'Red', and it says it is crossed with S. x willisii... what is S. x willisii? Thanks
 
To find the answer to this, and all such questions, go to the Carnivorous Plant Database at
http://www.omnisterra.com/bot/cp_home.cgi

But to answer your question, quoting the CP Database
N: [Sarracenia * willisii {Hort.Veitch ex ?Gordon}]
P: Gard.Mag.1894:410 (1894)
S: =[[[Sarracenia purpurea {L.}] * [Sarracenia psittacina {Michx.}]] * [[[Sarracenia purpurea {L.}] * [Sarracenia flava {L.}]] * [Sarracenia purpurea {L.}]]]

It is a complicated cross yes

The strange thing is that even though it is only 1/8th flava, the plant is a lot more upright than would be expected every time. Genetics work in weird ways.
