Pinguicula of the Temperate North

Description:

This book covers all carnivorous butterworts (Pinguicula) from the USA, Canada, Europe, Asia and northern Africa, documented individually in great detail for the very first time. The morphology, diversity, taxonomy and botanical history of all recognised taxa is described in depth and in clear English prose. Descriptions are accompanied with numerous spectacular images covering many Pinguicula species that have never been photographed before.

These spectacular carnivorous plants produce leaves lined with tiny tentacles tipped with droplets of glistening, sticky mucus. Small insects become affixed to the sticky, fly-paper leaves of Pinguicula, die and are digested offering the plant nutrients to grow.
