1.Indian Pipe (Monotropa uniflora)

Not all plants obtain nourishment from sunlight.

Indian pipe, a smooth, leafless, waxy

herbaceous plant is colorless because it has no

chlorophyll. It turns black when mature. The

plant obtains nourishment from decaying

organic matter. They are also called as Ghost

plant or Corpse plant. It is generally scarce orrare in occurrence.

Florentine Iris (I. florentina)

Orrisroot powder is made from the fragrant

rootstocks of Florentine iris and other several

varieties of European irises. The name

orrisroot is a corruption of iris root. It is usedin the manufacture of perfumes and tooth

powder

Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus oil on its natural state is toxic to

most mammals. Koalas are relatively tolerant

of it.

making jellies, sauces, pies and wine.

Daisy

The word daisy is a contraction of days eye,

referring to the flowers sun-like appearance.

Saguaro Cactus (Carnegiea)

The roots of saguaro cactus can store up to 8

tons of water, collected during the brief

periods of rain.

Day Lily (Hemerocallis)

Day Lily was so named because the individual

blossoms last only one day, it opens

at sunrise and wither at sunset, possibly

replaced by another one on the same stemthe next day. Some species are edible and

some are use for medicinal purposes.

Dandelion

Dandelion comes from the French dent de lion (lionstooth), suggested by the tooth-like notches on the leaves. Dandelions Leaves

Young leaves are used as green in salad. Dandelions Flowers

Flowers of dandelion are used in making wine.

Dandelions Roots

Roots of dandelion are roasted and prepared as asubstitute for coffee and Dandelions Dried Roots

Dried roots of dandelion are used in medicine as a tonic orto increase the flow of urine.

Common Plant Characteristics

Roots and Shoots

Terrestrial plants share a few definingcharacteristics, structural as well as functional.

Perhaps the most basic shared feature of mostplants is their division into shoots and roots. Theseparation between these two portions of theplant came about during the evolutionary move

from an aqueous environment to a terrestrialone, and each part is essential in its own way tothe plants' ability to survive on land.

Angelica (Angelica archangelica)

The angelica also called archangel and wild

parsnip bears greenish flowers. It is cultivated

for its leaves, which are cooked as a vegetable,

and for its leafstalks and stems, which yieldaromatic oil used in perfumes, confections,

medicines, and liqueurs.

Carnivorous plants are plants that derive some or most oftheir nutrients (but not energy) from trapping andconsuming animals or protozoans, typically insects andother arthropods. Carnivorous plants have adapted to grow inplaces where the soil is thin or poor in nutrients,especially nitrogen, such as acidic bogs and rockoutcroppings. Charles Darwin wroteInsectivorous Plants, the firstwell-known treatise on carnivorous plants, in 1875.[1]

True carnivory is thought to have evolved independently six times infive different orders of flowering plants,[2][3] and these are nowrepresented by more than a dozen genera. These include about 630species that attract and trap prey, produce digestive enzymes, andabsorb the resulting available nutrients.[4] Additionally, over300 protocarnivorous plant species in several genera show some

but not all these characteristics

Characteristics of Carnivorous Plants

Carnivorous plants eat insects by attracting, capturing, killing and digesting them. They then absorb these nutrientswithin their system. There are 11 families and 21 genera of carnivorous plants with about 500 species. Does thisSpark an idea?

Trapping Mechanism The common characteristic of all carnivorous plants is their trapping mechanism in the form of their adhesive snap, pitcher or

suction traps.

Glue All plants are endowed with a glue that is a sticky mucilage which attracts insects.

Other Accessories Carnivorous plants exhibit an increased efficacy for trapping insects with the use of olfactoric stimulation, colors, windows,

slippery material and entrapping hair.

Weak Roots Generally carnivorous plants have very small and weak root systems compared to the actual size of the plants.

Perennials

With a few exceptions, carnivorous plants are perennials and live for more than two years. Carnivorous plants are floweringplants.

Size of Carnivorous Plants The largest carnivorous plant can trap a small amphibian. Generally carnivorous plants grow anywhere from 12 inches to 3 feet

tall. However, in their native habitat like the tropics, some can grow up to 6 feet tall.

Snap traps

The only two active snap trapsthe Venus

flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) and the waterwheel

plant (Aldrovanda vesiculosa)are believed to

have had a common ancestor with similaradaptations. Their trapping mechanism has also

been described as a "mouse trap" , "bear trap" or

"man trap", based on their shape and rapid

movement. However, the term snap trapis

preferred as other designations are misleading,

The classification of all flowering plants is

currently in a state of flux. In the Cronquistsystem, the Droseraceae and Nepenthaceae wereplaced in the order Nepenthales, based on theradial symmetry of their flowers and their

possession of insect traps. The Sarraceniaceaewas placed either in the Nepenthales, or in itsown order, the Sarraceniales. The Byblidaceae,Cephalotaceae, and Roridulaceae were placed in

the Saxifragales; and the Lentibulariaceae in theScrophulariales (now subsumed into theLamiales[34]).

Monocots

Although different species of carnivorousplants have different requirements in terms of

sunlight, humidity, soil moisture, etc., thereare commonalities.

Most carnivorous plants require rainwater, orwater that has been distilled, deionisedbyreverse osmosis, or acidified to around pH6.5 using sulfuric acid.

Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula)

The Venus flytrap is probably the most common of all carnivorousplants, but did you know it uses electricity to ensnare its meals?Here how it happens courtesy of National Geographic, When oneor more of its surface hairs are brushed twicean energy-conserving system that distinguishes prey from other stimulianelectrical charge signals cells on the outside of the leaf to expand,swiftly warping the shape of the plants thumbprint-size lobes fromconvex to concave and snapping them shut. The plants cilia comestogether, but lets inadequate prey escape while munching on foodworth savoring. Luckily for us living in the United States, we canobserve the Venus flytrap in northeastern South Carolina andsoutheastern North Carolina, with a smaller population growing innorthern Florida

. California Pitcher Plant (Darlingtonia

californica) The California pitcher plant is quite a beauty to look at. It

possesses bright colors and unique features like a cobra lilyfor its head, a forked tongue and long tubular pitcher. Thispitcher plant, native to the West Coast of the U.S., varies inits digestive manner from other plants in its family. Instead

of relying on digestive enzymes, it has none. Symbioticbacteria take over the job of digesting insects into yummynutrients. The dark reddish-purple coloring of its leavesattract bugs and even has a transparent hood used to trickinsects. For example, when a fly enters the pitcher plants

hood it flies upward thinking its going straight into the sky,rather than entering a predatory zone. This pretty plant isdefinitely more than meets the eye.Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons/ Noah Elhardt

Parrot Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia

psittacina)

Here is another pitcher plant found in the

southeastern United States. The Parrot pitcher

plant likes to grow submerged in bogs or

sandbanks, while capturing an array of insectslike arthropods, ants and slugs. Similar to the

California pitcher plant, this one also has a

hood used to luring in nutrients. Hairs line thehood, all pointing down, which makes it

impossible for prey to escape.
