Siggi_Hartmeyer Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Trichome or tentacle? The active traps of Byblis and Drosera. Both the Australian rainbow plants (Byblis) as well as the sundews (Drosera) catch their prey with active, that means moving sticky traps. Nevertheless, there are serious differences between the two carnivorous genera, which we show in this short film with exciting microscope and time-lapse shots. It is explained in an easily understandable way, why the adhesive traps of the Byblis consist of hairs and those of the Drosera of tentacles. Good entertainment (English subtitles provided)!
