Wow quite an interesting plant! Id love to see the buried-leaf displays made for these once some specimens enter cultivation..

Stewart McPherson has an entire chapter on this plant in his "Carnivorous Plants and Their Habitats vol. 2"

Interesting! (Even more so if it is found thta the plant somehow attracts the nematodes.)

Just saw this on a facebook post from the Denver Botanic Gardens. Very cool! Here's a link to the original PNAS article for those who have access.
