Carnivorous Flora of Peat & Mist
Morphological and evolutionary examination of insectivorous and carnivorous plants across peat bogs, fens, and tropical ridges.
Inside this collection
Bornean Nepenthes
Pitcher plants of Mount Kinabalu, peristome fluid dynamics, digestive fluid enzyme composition, and tree shrew mutualisms.
Sarracenia Bog Pitchers
North American trumpet pitchers, downward-pointing retentive hairs, sweet nectar lures, and wetland conservation histories.
Drosera & Sundew Mucilage
Glandular tentacle movements, adhesive polysaccharide drops, prey digestion, and Charles Darwin's 1875 experimental work.
Dionaea muscipula Dynamics
Venus flytrap trigger hair mechanics, receptor potentials, rapid leaf closure, and native North Carolina savannah bogs.
Utricularia & Bladder Traps
Microscopic aquatic suction bladders, negative internal hydrostatic pressure, trigger hairs, and bladderwort taxonomy.
Cephalotus of Western Australia
The Albany pitcher plant, convergent evolution of pitfall traps, operculum morphology, and isolated peat swamp habitats.
Heliamphora Tepui Pitchers
Sun pitchers of the Guiana Highlands tepuis, primitive slit drainage traps, bacterial digestion, and extreme mist adaptations.
Deconstructing Anthropophagous Plant Myths
Victorian sensationalist hoaxes of man-eating Madagascar trees, explorer fabrications, and the reality of maximum prey limits.

A closer look.
We trace the line between botanical evidence, historical remedies and plant lore. A beautiful specimen deserves a careful reading.
