insectivorous Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Yet to see that many plants here in this topic are allowed to be placed into the family on insectivorous /carnivorous plants. 1) Attracts prey to trap. 2) Ensnares and Kills prey. 3) Digests into it's own plant cells. What is the tests that have been done and who did them to find out that these are in our great family of plants. I know that there are many plants which have defenses that kill or stop damage to the plants. But I find it hard to allow plants which kill by defense into our plant group. I also find hard to know which plant is being tested and by which group. and I would also like know if another group finds out the same answers after doing there own tests. BUT I would add that I find all plants good and interested to know more about all of them no matter if they are in our group or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
