Written in clear yet substantive language, this visually beautiful study reveals carnivorous plants in greater detail than ever before, and offers horticulturists specific information to achieve greater levels of success in cultivation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarnivorous Plants and their Habitats comprises 1,441 pages and includes 799 beautiful images. Six years in the making, this work profiles the distribution, botanical history, morphology, diversity, ecology, traditional uses, associated life, cultivation requirements and conservation status of all recognised carnivorous plant genera of the world. Volume 1 covers snap traps and pitcher plants, Volume 2 covers stickly-leaved insect-eating plants, corkscrew plants and bladderworts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe newly discovered genus Philcoxia is covered in unique detail and for the very first time. Preliminary findings suggest the highly specialised, glandular structures of the foliage of Philcoxia are carnivorous adaptations, and indeed microscopic animal prey is readily caught and killed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany other plants documented in this work have been discovered only very recently, and in many cases, the photographs presented here are among the first to be published, including four spectacular new species of pitcher plants (Nepenthes), which are formally described and introduced here (N. gantungensis, N. holdenii, N. hamiguitanensis and N. palawanensis).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolume Two covers the following chapters:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sticky-Leaved Insect-Eating Plants\u003cbr\u003e Triphyophyllum\u003cbr\u003e Drosera\u003cbr\u003e Drosophyllum\u003cbr\u003e Roridula\u003cbr\u003e Byblis\u003cbr\u003e Pinguicula\u003cbr\u003e Proboscidea\u003cbr\u003e Philcoxia\u003cbr\u003e Corkscrew Plants: Genlisea\u003cbr\u003e Bladderworts: Utricularia\u003cbr\u003e The future of Carnivorous Plants and their Habitats\u003cbr\u003e Appendix\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e About the Author\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSigned copies bear the signature of Stewart McPherson.","brand":"OrchidWeb","offers":[{"title":"Unsigned Copy","offer_id":51517702799669,"sku":"S-24628-0","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Signed Copy","offer_id":51517702832437,"sku":"S-24628-1","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/4313\/1445\/files\/carnivorousHabVol2__30331_72323c4d-380f-4f2b-a0bd-40b29c682d9f.jpg?v=1774571204","url":"https:\/\/store.orchidweb.com\/products\/carnivorous-plants-and-their-habitats-vol-2-book","provider":"OrchidWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
