Hybrid between yellow pitcher plant and white-topped pitcher plant. B. Hybrid between yellow pitcher plant and purple pitcher plant. C. Hybrid between white-topped pitcher plant and red pitcher plant. D. Hybrid between parrot pitcher plant and red pitcher plant. All of the species of pitcher plants in Conecuh National Forest are known to cross with other species, fonning hybrids. At times many hybrids appear at a site, especially if the soil has been disturbed. Hybrids are fomied as bees carrying pollen from the flower of one species visit the flower of another. Hybrid plants often have features that make them less successftal at growing, capturing prey, and reproducing than pure members of the species, so hybrids may not persist. Some hybrids are easily identified, but the parentage of others may be difficult to determine, especially if hybrids themselves cross with other hybrids. The hy- brids pictured abo\ e are representatives known to occur in Conecuh National Forest. Nearly all of the pitcher plant hybrid combinations that are geographi- cally possible may be found in the central Gulf area. 11.
