Matt,

Kingdom: Plantae
Phylum: Magnoliophyta
Class: Choripetalae
Order: Nepenthales
Family: Droseraceae
Genus: Dionaea
Species: muscipula

You should probably also mention the Dionaea is a monotypic genus, meaning
it is the only species within this genus.

Hope this helps (and is correct :-) )

-Russell
