- Description
- Genlisea glandulosissima (P. Taylor, dated 8 February 1968) is a species of "corkscrew plant," a genus of carnivorous plants. They are unique for having specialised underground leaves that act as traps for protozoa and other small soil organisms. The "glandulosissima" name refers to the dense covering of glands on its flower stalks, which are visible as the tall, thin stems rising from the leafy rosettes in this specimen.
