He claims that the plant had canoe-shaped leaves, long and thin
with raised sides, which grew outward along the ground from a central
rosette. The inner surface of the leaves (hollow of the canoe) had
fine hairs which pointed toward the rosette--the surface was covered

could not walk in any direction besides toward the center of the
rosette. Once there they would be trapped and digested.
