Screen shot from Kewgardens Instagram showing a small plant with opposite, rounded leaves that are completely covered with glandular, sticky hairs. Inset photo is the leaf close up to show the sticky hairs.
Check out the new Crepidorhopalon droseroides (#Linderniaceae). Somebody has got to study this thing & find out whether it’s carnivorous. Coincidentally, Linderniaceae is sister to #Byblidaceae. Byblis is also sticky & produces enzymes in its glue. #carnivory #stickyplant #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪
