Sarraceniaceae of South America is a monograph on the pitcher plants of the genus Heliamphora by Stewart McPherson, Andreas Wistuba, Andreas Fleischmann, and Joachim Nerz. It was published in September 2011 by Redfern Natural History Productions and covered all species known at the time.[1]

The book is part of a comprehensive two-volume work on the Sarraceniaceae. The other tome, Sarraceniaceae of North America, deals with the genera Darlingtonia and Sarracenia.[2] Intended as the first volume, Sarraceniaceae of South America includes an introduction to the family Sarraceniaceae as a whole.[3][4] Both volumes were nominees for the 2012 CBHL Annual Literature Award, in the Technical Interest category.[5]

In addition to the main authors, others who worked on the book include Andy Smith and Wayne Jenski, who produced a number of anatomical illustrations,[1] and taxonomist Jan Schlauer, who contributed to the formal species descriptions.[6]
