Genlisea
Genlisea (corkscrew plants), is a genus of approximately 21 species of carnivorous plant in the family Lentibulariaceae. Occurring in tropical Africa, Madagascar and Brazil, Genlisea is unique in the plant kingdom for specializing in protozoa, and for attracting its prey chemically. These plants are terrestrials or semi-aquatics. They consist of a single stem with small basal rosette of leaves, and a single flower, colored yellow or purple. They have very unusual traps, which are essentially underground. They are a pair of thin tubes joined in an inverted 'V' shape, with spiral grooves down their lengths that allow the entrance of soil-borne invertebrates.
Growing Medium
The substance in which the plants are growing. Normally refered to as soil in the natural environment, but modified in various ways when used for pot bound plants. The growing media for carnivorous plants is usually peat-based.
