Carnivorous Plants: Insectivorous Plants

By mst monira khaton

Carnivorous plants are flowering plants distributed worldwide and their leaves are morphologically adapted in a way that can trap insects.All carnivorous plants can be found in areas where the soil has very little nutrients. These plants are called carnivorous as they trap insects and arthropods, produce digestive juices, dissolve the prey and absorbs the nutrients from them. The first book on these plants was written by Charles Darwin, in 1875, "Insectivorous Plants". After further discoveries and research, it is believed that these carnivorous properties evolved on six separate occasions, from five different ordersof flowering plants. These are now presented in over 630 different species of flowering plant.
