Carnivorous Plants Of Australia
Australia has one of the world's richest carnivorous plant floras, with around 187 recognised species from 6 genus, genera.Bourke, G. & R. Nunn 2012. ''Australian Carnivorous Plants''. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. Species The following list is derived from ''Australian Carnivorous Plants'' (2012) by Greg Bourke and Richard Nunn. It notably excludes the genus ''Stylidium'', whose members may be considered to be protocarnivorous or carnivorous plant, carnivorous because the glandular trichomes that cover the Scape (botany), scape and flower can trap, kill, and digest small insects with protease enzymes produced by the plant. ;''Aldrovanda'' (1 species) *''Aldrovanda vesiculosa'' ;''Byblis (plant), Byblis'' (8 species; endemic) *''Byblis aquatica'' *''Byblis filifolia'' *''Byblis gigantea'' *''Byblis guehoi'' *''Byblis lamellata'' *''Byblis liniflora'' *''Byblis pilbarana'' *''Byblis rorida'' ;''Cephalotus'' (1 species; endemic) *''Cephalotus follicularis'' ;'' ...

Cephalotus Follicularis Hennern 2
''Cephalotus'' ( or ; Greek: ''κεφαλή'' "head", and ''οὔς''/''ὠτός'' "ear", to describe the head of the anthers) is a genus which contains one species, ''Cephalotus follicularis'' the Albany pitcher plant, a small carnivorous plant, carnivorous pitcher plant. The pit-fall traps of the modified leaves have inspired the common names for this plant, which also include Western Australian pitcher plant, Australian pitcher plant, or fly-catcher plant. It is an evergreen herb that is endemic to peaty swamps in the southwestern corner of Western Australia. As with the unrelated ''Nepenthes'', it catches its victims with Carnivorous plant#Pitfall traps, pitfall traps. Description ''Cephalotus follicularis'' is a small, low growing, herbaceous species. Evergreen leaves appear from underground rhizomes, are simple with an entire leaf blade, and lie close to the ground.

It is either a single extremely variable species, or a complex of several closely related species of uncertain taxonomic boundaries. In Australia at least four forms have had or still have specific taxonomic recognition: ''Drosera peltata'' subsp. ''peltata'' (an autonym), ''D. peltata'' subsp.

The specific epithet, which translates as "of Arthur" from Latin, is a reference to Mount Arthur, in north-eastern Tasmania, the type locality of the species.A.F. Mark and Nancy M. Adams, ''"New Zealand Alpine Plants"'', Reed, 1973Bruce Salmon, ''"Carnivorous Plants of New Zealand"''. Ecosphere Publications, 2001. Distribution and habitat ''Drosera arcturi'' grows in bogs, tarns and seepages, most commonly at montane or alpine elevations and is also commonly found in ''Sphagnum'' bogs. It is found in alpine areas from the East Cape of the North Island, New Zealand, southwards to Stewart Island, New Zealand. It is found above 1,500m altitude in the North Island, descending to sea level in the South Island. It is also found in the mountains of southeastern Au ...

''Drosera andersoniana'', the sturdy sundew, is an erect perennial tuberous species in the genus ''Drosera'' that is endemic to Western Australia. It produces a basal rosette of leaves similar to that of '' D. peltata'' and the stem grows to . Its pink-white to red flowers emerge from August to September. ''D. andersoniana'' grows in loamy soils near granite outcrops.D'Amato, Peter. 1998. '' The Savage Garden: Cultivating Carnivorous Plants''. Ten Speed Press: Berkeley, California. pp. 157.

Drosera Adelae
''Drosera adelae'', commonly known as the lance-leaved sundew, is a carnivorous plant in the genus ''Drosera'' that is endemism, endemic to Queensland, Australia. Description ''Drosera adelae'' is a tropical perennial plant that produces long, sword-shaped leaves in a basal rosette (botany), rosette. The leaves, like most other ''Drosera'' species, are covered with sticky, stalked tentacles that secrete the prey-capturing glue.McPherson, Stewart. 2008. ''Glistening Carnivores''. Poole, Dorset, England: Redfern Natural History Productions. pp. 212-214. Tentacle movement in this species, unlike other ''Drosera'', is minimal and slow to the point of being barely noticeable.McPherson, Stewart. 2008. ''Glistening Carnivores''. Poole, Dorset, England: Redfern Natural History Productions. p. 35. The leaves are narrowly leaf shape, lanceolate and are typically long and 7–10 mm wide.

Drosera Aberrans
''Drosera aberrans'' is a perennial tuberous species in the genus ''Drosera'' that is native to New South Wales, South Australia, and Victoria. It grows in a rosette 3 to 5 cm in diameter with green, orange-yellow, or red leaves. It is native to southern inland South Australia, southern and central Victoria, and one single collection from New South Wales.

Drosera
''Drosera'', which is commonly known as the sundews, is one of the largest genus, genera of carnivorous plants, with at least 194 species. 2 volumes. These members of the family Droseraceae lure, capture, and digest insects using stalked mucilage, mucilaginous glands covering their leaf surfaces. The insects are used to supplement the poor mineral nutrition of the soil in which the plants grow. Various species, which vary greatly in size and form, are native to every continent except Antarctica. Charles Darwin performed much of the early research into ''Drosera'', engaging in a long series of experiments with ''Drosera rotundifolia'' which were the first to confirm carnivory in plants. In an 1860 letter, Darwin wrote, “…at the present moment, I care more about ''Drosera'' than the origin of all the species in the world.” Taxonomy The botanical name from the Ancient Greek, Greek ''drosos'' "dew, dewdrops" refer to the glistening drops of mucilage at the tip of the gla ...
