Cephalotus follicularis (a.k.a. the Australian or Albany Pitcher Plant) is native to the coastal area of southwestern Australia. The first known reference to the plant is from a diary entry by botanist, Robert Brown, in 1802. The carnivorous pitchers of C. follicularis utilize several tactics for trapping and retaining prey, including semi-transparent “windows” in the lid, bright coloration, nectar, a toothed peristome, and slippery inner walls to name a few. In addition to the carnivorous pitchers, C. follicularis also produces flat, non-carnivorous leaves.

    Adorable! Shipped in a pot that was well packaged so the media didn’t end up everywhere. All the plants in my order were nice size and well packaged. I was worried because the shipment was delayed by 3 days, but everything arrived perfectly and looked very healthy.
