The way some plants function as carnivores gives insights into plant form, function, and evolution not otherwise readily available. They exhibit features which are common to many other non-carnivorous plants. The extent to which these features have developed, however, and the combination of different features in small organs is unique. The main sections of the book are: the syndrome and the habitat; attraction and trapping; nutrition and digestion; phytochemical aspects; exploitation and mutualism; evolution. -from Publisher
