Flava eh? . I thought someone just made a name mistake and meant Sarracenia flava.

 

[rockstarcobain]

hmm... that's weird. Not sure Flava was the right name to pick.

 

[NeciFiX]

What does 'flava' mean anyways? Yellow?

 

[kruegersc4]

Flava is a colorless crystalline derivative of flavone. At least that's the chemistry definition.

 

[DerbyCityNeps]

itl latin for yellow. S. flava being the yellow pitcher

I was rather disappointed with this naming, too. I think it's a trite name for a fabulously unique plant.

Agreed.

All the good names are already taken.
What the alternative are even lamer...naming it after a person, or after the place it was found (I HATE that)

Oh well. It's just a name . Nepenthes flava... haha, sounds funny.
