Project: Carnivorous Plants of Florida

Project Leader: Sky Feller

Project Description:
The Florida Panhandle and adjacent regions are a diversity hotspot for carnivorous plants. We currently recognize 32 species of carnivorous plants and their close relatives in Florida. These include 5 species of sundew (Drosera), 6 species of butterwort (Pinguicula), 7 species of pitcher plants (Sarracenia), and 14 species of bladderwort (Utricularia).
