The Australian Pitcher Plant

Cephalotus is one of the most desired carnivorous plants in cultivation. They are truly wonderful. It is a curious pitcher plant of compact growth with bristly, colorful traps that are seemingly yawning for a bite to eat. The plants grow naturally only in a narrow coastal strip in extreme southwestern Australia. It is the only species in it's entire family and despite its very strong resemblance to Nepenthes, they have no close relatives in the carnivorous plant complex. We recommend reading The Savage Garden to fully explore these incredible and charismatic plants.
