green pitcher plant - Endangered Species. Sarecenia oreophila. The most common way the plant reproduces is by cloning. The roots of the plant are close to the top of the ground, so it simply makes another plant from the root. The plant can also reproduce by seeds. Insects pollinate the flower of the plant. If conditions are right, the seed produces a new Green Pitcher Plant. The main body is a pitcher shaped tube. The plant produces nectar that entices insects inside the pitcher. The insects become trapped and are digested by enzymes. The pitcher ranges from 8-30 inches tall and has purple veins. Basal leaves are shorter flat sickle shaped leaves at the bottom of the plant.
