Reseña del editor:

Adrian Slack focuses on some fifty species, using photographs, line drawings, and diagrams to illustrate their peculiarities. The mobile tentacles of the Sundews, the snapping lobes of the Venus Fly Trap, and the slippery, baited pitfalls of the Pitcher Plants seem the stuff of science fiction, yet these amazing plants do exist.
