1. The terminal bud of the short perennial rhizone of Dionaea forms a scape which bears a cymose inflorescence of from two to fourteen actinomorphic, pentacyclic flowers. 2. The arrangement of the ...

They eat bugs. They’ve got awesome reflexes. And now they come in robot form (keep reading). Some of the most influential people who ever lived have had a fascination with Dionaea muscipula. Here are ...

We examined whether the ecological function (i.e., prey capture) of a rare, endemic carnivorous plant, Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), was maintained in managed habitats along the sand rims of ...

Venus flytraps are carnivorous plants, and feed on live insects such as flies and spiders. While Venus flytraps can be grown indoors, they thrive outdoors in temperate climates. Venus flytraps prefer ...

Carnivorous plants such as the Venus flytrap depend on meals of insects to survive in nutrient-poor soil. They sense the arrival of juicy insects, lured by the plants' fruity scent, with the aid of ...
