The Green Pitcher Plant is one of the rarest plants in North America, listed as Endangered under the US Endangered Species Act with fewer than 35 populations remaining, all in northeastern Alabama and adjacent Georgia and North Carolina. Unlike most pitcher plants, it grows in mountain seepage bogs and stream banks at moderate elevations rather than coastal plain bogs. The pitchers are green and functional only in spring, becoming photosynthetic flat leaves in summer. Illegal collecting has devastated many populations.
