How well do you know your view of carnivorous plants?

[JMN16150]

Try to name each one of the drawn plants! Don't go too far(for example: Sarracenia Purpurea), just write species names(for example:Sarracenia) Have Fun!
Sorry for sideways pics

just write species names(for example:Sarracenia) Have Fun!

Genus, not species. Species names use binomial nomenclature consisting of the genus and the specific epithet. Example Sarracenia flava - genus: Sarracenia, specific epithet: flava.

Just saying flava is not sufficient as there are many plants using flava as the epithet, e.g. Aesculus flava, Limnocharis flava or Lonicera flava. That's why the convention is to use the binomial when writing about species although the genus can be abbreviated with the first letter if the genus had been completely spelled out previously. However since there genus beginning with L previously discussed the entire genus must be spelled out (in the context of this message) to avoid confusion.

 

[Wolfn]

Sarracenia Oreophyla (spelled correctly?)
Various Drosera (capensis, a tuberous, etc)
Catopsis
Heliamphora
Pinguicula Moranensis (three varieties)
Utricularia Longifolia
Nepenthes
Cephalotus
Venus Fly Trap
Drosophyllum
Byblis


Most of these pictures came from Savage Garden, Carnivorous Plants of The World, and mainstream pictures.

 

[hcarlton]

Sarracenia flava
Drosera species
Brocchinia
Heliamphora
Pinguicula species
Utricularia species
Nepenthes
Cephalotus
Dionaea
Drosphyllum
Byblis

Oh, and Wolfn, the proper spelling of that species is Sarracenia oreophila.

Thanks Not A Number!
Great job Wulfn and hcarlton. For #3, I originally went for a brocchinia, but catopsis is acceptable too due to the same leaf structure
