PURPUREA Pitcher Plant 



An interesting but almost extinct plant found 

 growing in the peat bogs of Pine swamp above 

 New Gallilee. The curious inflated leaves are 

 always partly filled with water and many 

 drowned insects, that not only contributed to

 species have leaf glands secreting a digestive 

 fluid which aids in assimilating the insects.

 filled through the roots.
