Morphological Summary
Monotypic genus with a single species: Cephalotus follicularis (Albany pitcher plant). Endemic to a small area around Albany, Western Australia. Notable for having TWO types of leaves simultaneously: normal photosynthetic leaves and modified leaves forming small 3-4 cm pitchers with teeth on the peristome and a lid. A canonical example of convergent evolution with Nepenthes and Sarraceniaceae, as they are not phylogenetically related. Highly valued by growers for its rarity and appearance.
Distribution Endemic to Albany, Western Australia: narrow coastal strip of ~100 km, in bogs and margins of acidic water streams.
Conservation Vulnerable (VU). Extremely small range; threatened by drainage, grazing, off-season fires, and illegal collection. Protected by Australian law.
