What if a carnivorous plant only had pitchers? What if those pitchers were mini? Well, as you might have guessed, we're talking about cephalotus.
It is a plant native to south-eastern Australia, more precisely in the humid areas surrounding the city of Albany.
Unfortunately, this beautiful plant is in danger of extinction, because those areas have been reclaimed by man over time.
But let's go into more detail about its morphology: it has pitcher traps that can reach 6-7 cm in size in some cases, like most carnivores with pitchers inside it has a digestive liquid (which fills 2/3 of the pitcher) which is protected by an operculum surmounting the mouth which is capable of lowering according to the environmental humidity.
It is a plant that is very fond of ants, which help it grow very well by providing the plants with nitrogen and other nutrients.
Finally, the colours it can show are very intense and vary from different shades of green to spectacular red and purple shades.
