Hybrid sarracenias are the result of pollinations between two sarracenias of different genetics. The acronym “X” determines the crossing between two species of which the first plant is the plant that provided the ovary while the second plant is the pollen donor. Example: S. x alata (Mother) x flava var. ornata (Father) If a sarracenia is self-pollinated it is named Sarracenia Example: Sarracenia alata x “Self” If a sarracenia is pollinated by insects and no artificial intervention has been taken, it is named S. x “OP” Example: Sarracenia alata x OP (Open Pollinated)
