Also known as sundews
Drosera, which is commonly known as the sundews, is one of the largest genera of carnivorous plants, with at least 194 species. These members of the family Droseraceae lure, capture, and digest insects using stalked mucilaginous glands covering their leaf surfaces. The insects are used to supplement the poor mineral nutrition of the soil in which the plants grow. Various species, which vary greatly in size and form, are native to every continent except Antarctica.
AI overview
Drosera, commonly known as sundews, is a large group of carnivorous plants found on every continent except Antarctica that trap and digest insects using sticky, gland-covered leaves. These plants supplement their nutrient intake by feeding on insects because they grow in mineral-poor soils where traditional root absorption is insufficient.
