Cephalotus follicularis, Albany or Australian Pitcher Plant in habitat, site C, Western Australia

            Plants from this site exhibit several unusually dark clones including one rhizome of the darkest pitchers I have ever observed.  Very robust plants and lots of water at this location.

The Australian Pitcher Plant was first observed by European science in 1801 and to this day remains one of many enigmatic plants of Australia.  Cephalotus has no direct relation to any of the other four known genera of pitcher plants of the world.  Cephalotus follicularis is one of 100+ species of carnivorous or insectivorous plants which inhabit southwestern Australia - home of the greatest concentration of carnivorous plants in the world.  It is likely that there are nearly as many species of Drosera (sundews) in soutwestern Australia as there are all species of carnivorous plants worldwide.

Plants in this series are from one of five sites visited for Cephalotus on a trip with Redfern Natural History Expeditions in October 2018.  On the trip, we photographed nearly 100 species of carnivorous plants and many additional orchids during 2 weeks of travel in a relatively small area of southwest Australia.
