Of all the groups in the plant kingdom, it is carnivorous plants which hold the greatest fascination. Tony Camilleri describes exactly what carnivorous plants are, why they capture insects, the types of traps the use to catch their prey and an interesting history of their evolution. 100 color plates illustrate this strange group which includes such plants as the water wheel plant, which feeds on insects in the water, the cobra lily, which resembles a cobra about to strike its prey, the tropical pitcher plants of which the largest species is known to have captured rats. There's practical advice on how to grow plants at home, in the terrarium or around the pond. A comprehensive list of carnivorous plant societies and growers and suppliers from around the world is included, as well as a complete listing and description of every carnivorous plant.

Pitcher plants include the largest and most spectacular of all carnivorous plants. So-called because they produce highly specialised foliage that takes the form of hollow, water-filled "pitchers", these extraordinary plants lure and prey upon arthropods and other small animals. The pitcher plants of the Old World also trap the largest prey of all carnivorous plants, including on rare occasions, vertebrates as large as frogs, mice and even rats. This two volume work examines both genera of Old World pitcher plants (Nepenthes and Cephalotus) and documents the ecology and natural diversity of every known species for the first time and in unparalleled detail... Pitcher Plants of the Old World Volume Two comprises Nepenthes of the Philippines, Nepenthes of Sumatra and Java, Nepenthes of Sulawesi, Nepenthes of New Guinea and the Maluku Islands, Nepenthes of the Outlying Areas, Nepenthes Hybrids, Cephalotus follicularis, Habitat Loss and the Threat of Extinction and Cultivation and Horticulture, Appendix, Glossary, Bibliography, Index.
