Carnivorous plants (A – N)
Carnivorous plants (A – N)
Carnivorous plants are plants that trap and consume within them or with other mechanisms protozoa and animals, especially insects and other arthropods, in order to obtain the essential nutrients for their growth.
This singular characteristic is due to an adaptation to environments such as swamps, peat bogs or outcropping rocks, in which the soil, due to the strong acidity, is scarce or completely devoid of nutrients and, in particular, nitrogen, which is thus integrated by the plant. through the digestion of animal proteins.
In nature there are about 600 species of carnivorous plants, with spread all over the globe.
To this must also be added about three hundred species of protocarnivorous plants, divided into different genera, which possess some but not all the characteristics to be considered true carnivores.
Below is a list where, in alphabetical order, all living species of carnivorous plants are listed.
This list, which follows the recent scheme compiled by Jan Schlauer, also includes those plants which, for lack of certain requisites, are usually defined as “semi-carnivorous”.
