Dear Anonymous (Mark?),

> Just out of curiosity, which is the fastest growing cp,

_Aldrovanda vesiculosa_ in full growth is one of the fastest growing
cps (traps/time) but some aquatic _Utricularia_ may be even faster.

> and which is the slowest growing cp?

The slowest are of course dead ones (e.g. herbarium specimens; some
of which remain unchanged for *YEARS* even if you want to loan
them ;-)).

> I am guessing pygmy Drosera are the smallest (a few mm diameter)

_Utricularia olivacea_, _U. naviculata_, and _U. biovularioides_ are
smaller (incl. flowers).

> while some Nepenthes are the largest cp (several meters long).

_Triphyophyllum_ is larger (several tens of meters) in its non-
carnivorous liana stage.

Kind regards
