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 is absolutely beautiful, and larger than I expected it to be. The shipping was fast as well. Overall I am very happy with it.

Extremely satisfied and would recommend to fellow growers!!! I ordered a small potted cephalotus and it was exactly what I ordered. Highly recommend getting a plant from Curious Plants.

Had a little scare in the beginning, but the plant came in protected and the response to questions was quick! Plant was as advertised.

It’s small, but still a very nice specimen.
