Cephalotus follicularis

This is a unique plant only found growing along a small stretch of coast in Western Australia. This fascinating plant produces two types of leaf – a spring non carnivorous leaf and a carnivorous summer leaf which is the purposeful looking trap that resembles a boxing glove. Look closely and you can see the vicious looking teeth. In fact it doesn’t catch a huge amount but is a lovely plant to have in your collection. It doesn’t need any special conditions, just a bright windowsill but can be a bit tricky so do look at the care instructions.
