sharp thorn spikes w’hich interlock 
like the gates of a prison behind 
the unfortunate insect which 
chances to alight upon the surface 
of the leaf or even to brush lightly 
against one of the three tiny fila¬ 
ments which project upright from 
each lobe and which warn the 
plant of the presence of its live 
prey. A wonderful plant which
