droseraceae

Droserapollis is a genus of extinct plants in the family Droseraceae.

Drosophyllaceae, recently segregated from Droseraceae, is the only plant family endemic to the region.

The fossil record of Droseraceae is the richest of any carnivorous plant family.

(The only monograph of the family Droseraceae to date.)

The family Droseraceae is part of the order Caryophyllales in the clade core eudicots.

This non-core clade is where Droseraceae is placed.

This important morphological distinction led researchers to question the validity of this taxon's placement in Droseraceae.

The genus had always been assumed to be closely allied to Drosera, and was previously placed in the Droseraceae.

Drosera aliciae, carnivorous plant native to South Africa of the family Droseraceae.

Drosera aliciae, the Alice sundew, is a carnivorous plant in the family Droseraceae.

Dionaea is a monotypic genus closely related to the waterwheel plant and sundews, all of which belong to the family Droseraceae.

These members of the family Droseraceae lure, capture, and digest insects using stalked mucilaginous glands covering their leaf surfaces.

Ludwig Diels: Droseraceae.

It was named in honor of Ludwig Diels, the author of the 1906 monograph on the Droseraceae.

It is also recommended that Drosophyllum be considered in a monotypic family outside the rest of the Droseraceae, probably more closely allied to the Dioncophyllaceae.

Circinate vernation is also typical of the carnivorous plant family Droseraceae, for example see this photo of Drosera filiformis.

Earlier, in his 1906 taxonomic monograph of the Droseraceae, Ludwig Diels introduced a new variety, D. erythrorhiza var.

The flavonoids of Sarraceniaceae, Nepenthaceae, Droseraceae and Cephlotaceae, a critical study of the order Sarraceniales.

Drosera moorei was first described as a variety of D. subhirtella by Ludwig Diels in his 1906 monograph on the Droseraceae.

Aldrovanda vesiculosa, commonly known as the waterwheel plant, is the sole extant species in the flowering plant genus Aldrovanda of the family Droseraceae.

Scapes are found on plants of many families, including Amaryllidaceae, Balsaminaceae, Liliaceae, Papaveraceae, Droseraceae, and Violaceae.

Here, the Droseraceae stand apart, the sundews catching insects with adhesive droplets and the Venus Flytrap capturing them in leaves with interlocking teeth.

The bulk of the members of Droseraceae are contained in Drosera, the true sundews; Dionaea and Aldrovanda both have only one extant species.

Like carnivorous plants of other families, the Droseraceae are able to supplement their nutrient intake, especially that of nitrogen, by capturing and digesting small animals such as insects.

D. lusitanicum had previously always been included in the family Droseraceae, as it catches insects with a method reminiscent of that used by many plants in that family.
