Q: Where do carnivorous plants live in various parts of the world?
A: Having just described in detail what carnivorous plants live in the USA and Canada, it would
be an egregious oversight for me to overlook the other regions of the world.
Long ago, I maintained species lists for every one of the regions below. However,
this was incredibly cumbersome to maintain--and I figure I'm the only person who ever looked at them--so I've reduced the content here enormously to simply overview
information. Sorry if I cut out something you used to use, but the data were getting really old.
Figure that the species lists given for each section date to around 2007--they'll get you started, but for updates you have to do more digging.
- Carnivorous plants of México--a Pinguicula stronghold!
- Carnivorous plants of central America and the Caribbean--more neat Pinguicula!
- Carnivorous plants of South America--a land of grotesque wealth!
- Carnivorous plants of northern Africa--little known species!
- Carnivorous plants of southern Africa--Roridula homeland!
- Carnivorous plants of Europe--exciting Pinguicula!
- Carnivorous plants of the middle East--a sad tale!
- Carnivorous plants of mainland Asia and Japan--amazing diversity...
- Carnivorous plants of Southeast Asia and Pacifica--Nepenthes and more.
- Carnivorous plants of Australia and New Zealand.
- Carnivorous plants of the arctic--survivors in the chilly north!
- Carnivorous plants of Antarctica--survivors in the frigid south!
- Carnivorous plants of the oceans--any marine carnivores?
