Carnivorous plants of Australia
For the three-volume work by Allen Lowrie, see Carnivorous Plants of Australia.
Australia has one of the world's richest carnivorous plant floras, with around 187 recognised species from 6 genera.[1]
Species
The following list is derived from Australian Carnivorous Plants (2012) by Greg Bourke and Richard Nunn.[1] It notably excludes the genus Stylidium, whose members may be considered to be protocarnivorous or carnivorous because the glandular trichomes that cover the scape and flower can trap, kill, and digest small insects with protease enzymes produced by the plant.[2]
