Hello to all
When I find a dictionary, I still love to search for CP definitions.
Not all the plants figure in these books. In an old one (1924) I found
definition for a few plants. The nepenthes definition includes a nice
drawing, but does not explain the carnivorous behaviour of the plant ! It's
just related the plant have wrong leaves in form of pitchers.
In the more recent 'Petit Robert' (french readers could verify), a few plants
are present. The drosera is well described, the definition of the VFT is
really strange (after reading that, you can doubt about the fact: is it really
the VFT they're talking about ?) But the more interesting information came
later: nepenthes grows in Malaysia and Madagascar (only), and is from the well
known family of Sarraceniaceae...
