The Australian pitcher plant (Cephalotus follicularis), also known as Albany pitcher plant, is the only species of plant in the Cephalotaceae family and Oxalidales order. It can be found exclusively in moist conditions in a small region in southwest Australia and is considered to be a carnivorous plant. Similar to the not related Nepenthes, it catches its victims with pitfall traps.
It has been suggested that this article be merged into Cephalotus. (Discuss) Proposed since November 2023. |
