What are the best books on carnivorous plants?
• Drosera capensis • Sarracenia oreophila • Drosera pygmaea • Utricularia intermediaA: I will start by saying that I have written a book on carnivorous plants; you can read about it here and even order a signed copy from me. Needless to say, I think it is an excellent book because I decided what should go into it! My book has two strengths. First, every chapter of it was reviewed by experts when the book was in draft. So the book is factually robust. Second, the book has lists of every kind of carnivorous plant. These lists are complete—no species is overlooked. So if you want checklists, you can get them there. Also, the web pages I have associated with the book provide updates. So as new species are described, you can find out about them there. Yes, I am proud of the book—I would be lying if I said otherwise! (Incidentally, even if I did not like my book, if I failed to list it first my publicist at Timber Press or editor at Quintet Publishing would send send hitmen after me.) On
