It is thought to be a protocarnivorous plant.

Additionally, over 300 protocarnivorous plant species in several genera show some but not all these characteristics.

Balsams are not known to be protocarnivorous plants however.

Since the insects usually killed are rarely major pests, this passion flower seems to be a protocarnivorous plant.

Roridula gorgonias is a protocarnivorous plant native to South Africa.

Insects become trapped in the sticky patches on this protocarnivorous plant, but it does not obtain any nutrients from them.

These are usually called protocarnivorous plants.

Some classic protocarnivorous plants represent convergent evolution in form but not necessarily in function.

This unique protocarnivorous plant is only capable of capturing prey during one stage of its life cycle.

Protocarnivorous plant - Plant that eats herbivores, but lacks digestion ability.

The toothwort is a protocarnivorous plant.

There are visible parallels between the trapping mechanisms of carnivorous plants and protocarnivorous plants.

Whether or not it gains nourishment from its prey is uncertain, and it is currently considered a protocarnivorous plant.

Geranium viscosissimum another protocarnivorous plant.

A protocarnivorous plant is a plant that traps small animals (usually insects and arthropods) much like carnivorous plants do.

Further research into these plants' carnivorous adaptations may reveal that a few protocarnivorous plants do meet the more rigid definition of a carnivorous plant.

The disciplines of ecology and evolutionary biology have presented several hypotheses on the evolution of carnivorous plants that may also apply to protocarnivorous plants.

It has been considered to be a carnivorous or protocarnivorous plant because it possesses glandular trichomes underneath the flowers that can trap and digest prey.

Many examples of protocarnivorous plants exist, some of which are counted among the ranks of true carnivorous plants as a matter of historical preference.

The pitfall traps of protocarnivorous plants are identical to those of carnivorous plants in every way except in the plant's mode of digestion.

The morphological adaptations such as sticky trichomes or pitfall traps of protocarnivorous plants parallel the trap structures of confirmed carnivorous plants.

The name "protocarnivorous plant" itself suggests that these species are on their way to carnivory, though others may simply be an example of a defense-related adaptation, such as that found in Plumbago.

The sticky, adhesive glands on leaves, sepals and other parts of the plant prompted Charles Darwin to suggested that this species might be a protocarnivorous plant, but little if any research has been done on this.

A protocarnivorous plant (sometimes also paracarnivorous, subcarnivorous, or borderline carnivore), according to some definitions, traps and kills insects or other animals but lacks the ability to either directly digest or absorb nutrients from its prey like a carnivorous plant.

Jolivet writes, "It is important to remember that all carnivorous plants are dicots and all protocarnivorous plants are monocots," though he does not explain why nor does he describe his reasons for excluding other dicotyledonous plants that are protocarnivorous.

Martyniaceae (all borderline carnivores, related to the sesame plant)

The borderline carnivores include Roridula and Catopsis berteroniana.

Stylidium (trigger plants, a borderline carnivore)

Roridula (a borderline carnivore)

A protocarnivorous plant (sometimes also paracarnivorous, subcarnivorous, or borderline carnivore), according to some definitions, traps and kills insects or other animals but lacks the ability to either directly digest or absorb nutrients from its prey like a carnivorous plant.

There is a spectrum of carnivory found in plants: from completely non-carnivorous plants like cabbages, to borderline carnivores, to unspecialised and simple traps, like Heliamphora, to extremely specialised and complex traps, like that of the Venus flytrap.
