Subject: Regarding the possibility of discovery of new carnivorous plants

I was wondering about an article i read in Science News i believe it was few
months ago about how many plants there are yet to be discovered and there
are new discoveries even occurring in north america and canada as well as
the tropics. What are the chances that we'll find a new undiscovered species
of CP radically different from the others perhaps a new trap form? Did that
small VFT meantioned on the list earlier in vietnam turn out to be a hoax?
Also supposedly i heard theres a CP down in south america that possibly has
glands beneath its leaves to catch insects if it is indeed carnivorous.
