Author: Adam Cross
This book is the first comprehensive monograph of Aldrovanda, the extraordinary carnivorous "Waterwheel Plant". Known for trapping aquatic prey between jaw-like lobes that dramatically snap shut when triggered, Aldrovanda is a unique carnivore related to the famous Venus' Flytrap and employs one of the fastest movement responses known in the plant kingdom. This work offers a pioneering and detailed treatment of all aspects of the botanical history, ecology, history, distribution and cultivation of this novel plant, and includes the description of a new Aldrovanda colour variant.
