Australian Pitcher Plants (Cephalotus follicularis)

About

The Australian Pitcher Plant ( Cephalotus ) is one of the most desired carnivorous plants in cultivation. It is truly wonderful. It is a curious pitcher plant of compact growth with bristly, colorful traps that seem to be yawning for a bite to eat. The plants grow naturally only in a narrow coastal strip in extreme southwestern Australia. It is the only species in its entire family, and despite its very strong resemblance to Nepenthes , they have no close relatives in the carnivorous plant complex.
