Dear Klaus,

Not only the Bromeliad-specialists.

>There are also other Bromeliads which can catch insekts like Brocchinia, but

As I have noted before, I do not think that precarnivorous is a fortunate
term ("predicting" evolution). I prefer sub-carnivorous.

>It=B4s for example

How about CPN (Carnivorous Plant Newsletter)?

Well, maybe we should found "Sub-carnivorous Plant Newsletter" for such
matter. 8-)

Kind regards
