Numerous extinct species of Aldrovanda have been described, all of which are known only from fossil pollen and seeds (with the exception of A. inopinata , which is also known from fossilised laminae).
Archaeamphora Artist's restoration of Archaeamphora longicervia This genus contains a single extinct species, described from fossilised leaf material. The identification of Archaeamphora as a pitcher plant (and therefore carnivorous plant) has been questioned by a number of authors.[4] [9] [10]
This is a form taxon known only from fossil pollen . Three species of the "Droseridites echinosporus group" have been transferred to the genus Nepenthes
Three species known only from fossil pollen and originally assigned to Droseridites Nepenthes .
Nepenthidites This is a form taxon known only from fossil pollen . Droseridites major (Nepenthes major ) and Droseridites parvus are considered synonyms of Nepenthidites laitryngewensis by some authorities.[11]
Palaeoaldrovanda This is a form taxon known only from what were originally described as fossil seeds. These supposed seeds have subsequently been identified as insect eggs.[9]
