This database is built on information from Jan Schlauer's World Carnivorous Plant List, contributions from the members of the CP listserver mailing list, the International Carnivorous Plant Society, and other regional CP societies. Other textual information may be found in the CP listserv archives. Plant, seed and pollen exchange/selling/trading may be done at the Carnivorous Plant Trading Post. Other interesting CP locations may be found here. This system is running on Hewlett-Packard hardware.
