Samenvatting | Few groups of plants so capture the imagination as these intriguing carnivores that reverse the order we expect to find in nature: they are the predators rather than the passive prey. Superbly adapted to nutrient-poor soils, they thrive where other plants fail because of their unique ability to obtain necessary minerals by attracting, trapping, and then digesting insects. The best-known carnivorous plants are the Venus Fly Trap and the various pitcher plants, but there are many other kinds of plants using other strategies to capture prey. All are covered in detail in this comprehensive, practical survey of some of earth's most fascinating plants. |
