Utricularia reniformis

Utricularia reniformis is a type of carnivorous plant native to Brazil, notable for its large, kidney-shaped (reniform) green traps. These traps are tiny, underwater or soil-based structures that capture small aquatic or soil-dwelling creatures like tiny insects and tiny invertebrates. The plant relies on capturing prey to supplement nutrients in nutrient-poor environments. It is an epiphyte, often growing on trees in humid forests, and has delicate, fern-like leaves. Its striking appearance and unique trapping mechanism make it an interesting example of adaptation in nutrient-deficient habitats.
