Sarracenia purpurea is a type of carnivorous plant. It is commonly called the purple pitcher plant, northern pitcher plant, turtle socks, or side-saddle flower.[1]
Native Americans successfully used the plant to treat smallpox. This knowledge was passed on to Westerners by the Mi'kmaq during the 19th century. [2][3][4]
