Sarracenia alata, also known as yellow trumpets, pale pitcher plant or pale trumpet, is a carnivorous plant in the genus Sarracenia. It is native to North America.

The flowers of this plant hang at the tip of its leafless stems. The flowers are large in comparison to the leaves. Each stalk has one flower.

Native to marshes and bogs, pinelands and wet forest floors in the southeastern US states of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. In pine forests, it can be found in areas that are not dense with pine, but with meadow-like openings. Typically, these openings will be waterlogged due to dense soils that lead to high acid in the soil and low nitrogen. The plants will look to insects for nutrients.

Insects are attracted to the pitcher shaped leaves by droplets of nectar on the leaf along with reddish veins on the open portion of the leaf. The pitcher shaped leaves contain a pool of water. As the insect makes its way to the water, it will encounter downward-pointing hairs that prevent the insect from exiting. The water-pool contains insect-digesting enzymes that assist the plant in digesting the insect.
