Darwin had long been fascinated by insectivorous plants, from the native British sundews and bladderworts to the exotic pinguiculas and nepenthes which he encountered during the Beagle voyage. This books shows the results of his experiments on plants which showed evolutionary adaptation in their highly specialised methods of obtaining nutrients.
