Cephalotus (/ˌsɛfəˈloʊtəs/ or /ˌkɛfəˈloʊtəs/; Greek: κεφαλή "head", and οὔς/ὠτός "ear", to describe the head of the anthers)[3] is a genus which contains one species, Cephalotus follicularis the Albany pitcher plant,[4] a small carnivorous pitcher plant. The pit-fall traps of the modified leaves have inspired the common names for this plant, which include 'Albany pitcher plant", "Western Australian pitcher plant", "Australian pitcher plant", or "fly-catcher plant." It is an evergreen herb that is endemic to peaty swamps in the southwestern corner of Western Australia.[5]
It has been suggested that Australian pitcher plant be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since November 2023. |
