This plant has lots of white spots throughout the upper parts of the pitcher. They appear on the front beneath the lip and wrap around to the back. The hood features a graceful pattern of red viens and frilled edges. A mature plant will produce a massive rhizome that can be easily divided. Pitchers of this plant also last throughout winter.

The plant was named after a beloved friend, Margaret Eng. She worked for the Outdoor School in Portland, Oregon and was a strong advocate of bringing the natural sciences to school children. Hundreds of kids got to know her as "Lorax." We were fortunate to have known a gentle, yet passionate, soul, so we named this plant after her Outdoor School nickname. (This plant was originally released as "Margaret Eng.")
