The carnivorous plants

Abstract

The way some plants function as carnivores gives insights into plant form, function, and evolution not otherwise readily available. They exhibit features which are common to many other non-carnivorous plants. The extent to which these features have developed, however, and the combination of different features in small organs is unique. The main sections of the book are: the syndrome and the habitat; attraction and trapping; nutrition and digestion; phytochemical aspects; exploitation and mutualism; evolution. -from Publisher
