Description
Sundews — the most species-rich genus of carnivorous plants (~190 accepted species), found on every continent except Antarctica. Leaves bear stalked glands (tentacles) secreting sticky mucilage for trapping and digestive enzymes for digestion. Major centres of diversity: southwestern Australia (~50% of all species), sub-Saharan Africa, and South America.
