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.

The plant showed up quickly and looks very healthy and larger than I thought. It is almost done with the acclimation stage. I’m looking forward to adding it to the rest of my carnivorous plants.

Beautiful specimen of Cephalotus follicularis! The plant came expertly packaged and is much larger than I expected. I highly recommend “Curious Plant”, and will be purchasing more specimens for my collection. Thanks.
