Sorry, I do not have it.

> What is it

As the name tells already, it is an _Aristolochia_ (birthwort).

> and were does it grow ?

Japan.

> I heard about it ,

Great!

> is it carnivorous ?

No. Like all _Aristolochiae_ (and quite a few other plants), it
depends on invertebrates for pollination and not for nutrition (cf.
previous discussions on this list). For more information, please
refer to a standard textbook of Botany.

Kind regards
