species Lentibulariáceas
Morphological Summary
Genus of ~30 species with a unique trapping system: spiral (corkscrew-shaped) traps that capture protists and nematodes from the soil. Underground leaves form an inverted "Y" with two helical tubular arms. Microorganisms enter attracted by chemotaxis but cannot retreat due to internal trichomes. Aerial leaves are simple photosynthetic rosettes. They have the smallest known genomes in flowering plants (some <65 Mb). Distributed in tropical South America and Africa.
Distribution Tropical South America (Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, Colombia) and sub-Saharan Africa (Angola, Zambia, Mozambique, Madagascar). Habitats: tropical bogs, moist sandy soils, wet savannas.
Conservation Few species formally assessed; habitats threatened by burning and agriculture. Not in CITES. Some are rare in cultivation due to their specialized requirements.
