Morphological Summary
Monotypic genus: Darlingtonia californica, known as "cobra lily" for the hooded appearance of its twisted pitcher. Endemic to mountain bogs in northern California and southern Oregon (USA). Notable for its unusual trapping system: the pitcher has a ventral opening with two "fang" appendages and a translucent dome at the apex. Insects confused by translucent light fall inside. Does not produce its own digestive enzymes — relies on symbiotic bacteria.
Distribution Endemic to northern California and southern Oregon (USA): mountain bogs with cold running water (serpentine and ultramafic), 0-2200 m.
Conservation Locally Least Concern (LC), but specialized habitats vulnerable to climate change (spring water warming), trampling, and illegal collection.
