Predatory Plants
Learn about the physiology and habitats of a fascinating range of heterotrophic plants in New England, namely those species that obtain nutrition through means other than photosynthesis. Explore true parasites (haustorial plants) such as dodder vines (Cuscuta), dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium) and members of the broom rape family (Orobanchaceae), myco-heterotrophs that are parsistic on fungal networks, and non-parasitic carnivorous plants such as pitcher plants (Sarracenia), sundews (Drosera), bladderworts (Utricularia), that trap and consume insects to supplement nutrition.
