--><p>Subspecies alabamensis is very rare; about 12 populations are known, all in the fall line sandhills of Autauga, Chilton, and Elmore counties, Alabama. It may be a relict in an area where, with modern fire suppression, suitable open habitats are maintained accidentally only by moderate cattle pasturing. It is federally listed as endangered and deserves managed protection. The subspecies is introduced in southeastern Virginia.</p><!--
--><p>Sarracenia rubra Walter subsp. alabamensis (Case & R. B. Case) D. E. Schnell, which pertains here, is an illegitimate combination based on the invalid basionym S. alabamensis Case & R. B. Case (1975).</p>
