The humankind of carnivorous plants is far stranger and more all-embracing than the unremarkably known examples of the Venus flytrap and pitcher plant life . The criteria for considering whether a plant is carnivorous include its adaptation to capture fair game and the comportment of digestive enzyme , helper bacteria , or another way of benefiting from the nutrient in the prey that they capture .
Aldrovanda
This works is also known as the " waterwheel flora " and is exchangeable to an submersed Venus flytrap . Its leaves are arranged in a bike form with the leafy cakehole on the close of its arms .
Cephalotus
The Cephalotis follicularis is also known as the Albany pitcher works . It was named after the city of Albany , Australia in southwest Australia and principally develop in that area . It is pitcher shaped and covered with bristles .
Darlingtonia
This plant , also bed as the cobra lily , grows along the Pacific coast in patches from Oregon to California . It relies on bacterium and animals such as flying midge and muck jot to support its quarry .
Dionaea
The Dionaea muscipula , better known as the Venus flytrap , is the most noted of the carnivorous plant life . Its native mountain range is the lowlands of North Carolina . Their home ground is threatened , but they can be seen at Carolina Beach State Park near Wilmington , North Carolina .
Drosera
Droseras are also known as sundew . There are over 180 known species of genus Drosera growing on every continent except for Antartica . Insects that acres on their leaves are enamour by adhesives and digested by enzyme . The leaf do move , like those of Venus flytraps , but the movement is very deadening .
Drosophyllum
Drosophyllum , or the Dewy true pine , is quite big for a carnivorous plant . Its individual leaves are over a foot marvelous and the entire plant can be up to two feet tall . It grows in desiccated regions along the Portuguese glide .
Genlisea
Genlisea are also known as corkscrew plants . They grow in plastered habitats and their traps are locate underwater . The trap structure is formed by swerve hairs which only allow their fair game to progress in one direction – until it is too tardy .
Heliamphora
This genus is a type of pitcher plants that get in the South American Highlands near the borders of Brazil , Venezuela and Guyana .
Nepenthes
genus Nepenthes are also known as tropic twirler plant life . Although they are most definitely carnivorous , there are over 150 species of creature that are acknowledge to go inside their pitcher without becoming prey . These fauna range in size from mosquito larvae to frogs .
Pinguicula
These carnivorous plants are commonly know as butterwort . They have pretty flowers that climb far above their sticky leaves so that they do not go through their own pollinators .
Sarracenia
Sarracenia is also known as North American twirler plant and range is mainly in the southeastern U.S. Their pitchers are narrow-minded with dodgy sides and bottoms filled with digestive fluids and tool such as mosquito , midge and build flies .
Utricularia
This genus contains over 220 specie . Their common name is bladderwort and this gives a clue as to the process of their trap . minuscule bladders pump out water from an inner chamber , which lowers the water pressure . Prey are breastfeed in and tardily digested .
