This hybrid was create by legendary carnivorous plant pioneer Adrian Slack (UK) and first appeared in his book "Insect-Eating Plants and How to Grow Them" in 1986.. The exact parentage is unknown, but it has features of S. flava and S. leucophylla . The lids are frilled and veined with a red margin. Pitchers are relatively tall, up to 24 inches, and slender. Slack named this plant after Lynda Butt who worked for him at his nursery in the UK, so this plant is relatively accessible in Europe. It is, however, very uncommon in the United States.
