Condition: NEW. 360, 318 col photos, col illus, 26 pages of line drawings. 270x205mm. HB. NEW. . This book is the first of two volumes that document all carnivorous butterworts (Pinguicula) of the world, for the very first time and in unparalleled detail. In this volume, all Pinguicula taxa from the USA, Canada, Europe, Asia and… northern Africa are documented individually in great detail. 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. (The second volume covers species found in Latin America). 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. [9781908787149].
