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.

This was my second order from CP. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of the products. I’ve ordered from other sites and received some inferior plants. CP has become my go to source when looking for carnivorous plants… I kinda frowned on the FedEx 2day shipping at first, but after giving it thought and being charged just as much for priority mail, it’s actually a good deal, and I receive my plants sooner…..
I’ll be ordering more Cephalotus next week!!!
