- Description
- Byblis gigantea
- Byblis gigantea can grow in dense groupings. Its narrow leaves are covered on all surfaces by sticky hairs that trap insects. Thus, any insect passing through such a mass of leaves is likely to be trapped. sticky hairs do not change position once the insect is caught. The insect is gradually digested where it landed.
