It's a hybrid of 2 of the 3 North American species of the newest genus found to contain carnivorous members, the 2 which have yet to have a rigorous analysis to prove they digest and absorb nutrition from the bugs they trap.

The carnivory is limited to the flower stalk, which is covered with sticky bracts similar to those of Drosera. These particular plants are from seed collected at one of the several sites in Burlington county NJ where a unique variety believed to be an intergrade between the 2 eastern species, the northerly racemosa and the southerly glutinosa occurs:
