I'm having a tough time visualizing this. Are we talking about two
fully-formed traps on one petiole? Or something in between. Late this past
summer, I had something similar. One petiole, two partially formed traps
(rather than four separate lobes, it was more like two "siamese traps" on one
stalk .... they shared a common "inner" lobe, with two sets of teeth, but had
two separate "outer" lobes. Perhaps three lobes better describes it than
four. It closed, albeit slowly, and seemed at least reasonably functional,
although it didn't catch anything during the bug season here in northern
Virginia.
