Plant of the Day
Sunday 10 July 2022
This display of carnivorous plants at the Royal Horticultural Society Hampton Court Flower Show included a great specimen of Drosera binata (forked sundew) and various species and cultivars of Sarracenia (pitcher plants, trumpet pitchers). These plants are adapted to derive some or most of their nutrients from trapping and consuming animals, normal insects.

Like other carnivorous plants, the pitcher plant (Nepenthes rajah) traps insects for a meal. But what sets this species apart from the more famous Venus flytrap? It also occasionally snares vertebrates, including small mammals and lizards! Its sizable pitcher, a modified leaf, can contain up to 1 liter (33.8 ounces) of fluid, which is often enough to drown small critters that happen to fall in. Powerful digestive acids are then released to help the plant break down and absorb its prey. Insects are attracted to the pitcher plant because of its scent, while small animals such as shrews or geckos may mistakenly seek a drink or shelter in the pitcher.

Sarracenia oreophila is more commonly called the green pitcher plant. Like all plants in the genus Sarracenia it captures and digests insects in its tubular leaves to compensate for the nutrient deficient soils where it grows. Sarracenia oreophila is listed as critically endangered in the wild.
