Flower of insectivorous pitcher plant (Sarracenia) from Florida, US. Plants have modified leaves which serve as traps for insects. Once an insect is trapped, it is killed and digested by enzymes, and nutrients are absorbed by the plant. Insectivorous plants inhabit acidic and low-nitrogen habitats. |
