Red Butterwort or Chapman's Butterwort Pinguicula planifolia Florida USA by Carol Dembinsky Dembinsky Photo Associates www.dpaphoto.com This passive carnivorous plant traps occur around the world. Like all Butterwort species, the plant utilizes sticky gladular leaves to attract, trap ( like flypaper ), and eventually digest the insect to gain important nutrients that are unavailable in its native soil ( nitrogen and phosphorus). This particular species thrives in seepage bogs, and other wetlands of the coastal plains from Louisiana to Florida.da.
