Is there a list of plants?

Hello, well I've been reading this group for a couple of weeks. I'm an
herbalist, really and was interested in the cancer remedies that some of
the carnivorous plants have been used for. Venus Fly trap, that is.

However, now I'm really interested...what an active group this is!
I have been teaching plant id to the local community and so I've got this
taxonomy thing down ... basically.

What genera are we talking about here? Is there a FAQ or list of carnivorous
plants with common and latin names...how about families?

Being in Montana we only have Drosera rotundifolia...and I've never seen it.
So, I am a little unfamiliar with the others.

Of course, there was that highschool biology project I once did on "The
Effects of Valium and Meprobomate on Trap Closure of the Venus Fly
Trap". So maybe I have a fondness for these plants that goes back a
bit.
