Dear Cindy,

The _Nepenthes_ are nice but rather well-known and either +/-
established in cultivation or endangered so visiting them is simple
tourism (or worse).

Much more interesting is the endemic _Drosera humbertii_, apparently
a relative of _D. capensis_ from S AF but very little studied and
rather little known. According to the protologue, it was collected on
the "Marojejy Massif E summit, W Upper Manantenina".

Another rather interesting species is _Genlisea margaretae_ (also
known from Zambia and Tanzania) which was previously known from and
has recently been rediscovered in Madagascar (under the synonym G.
recurva).

Bonne chance!
Kind regards
Jan
