That's just one of the findings in a new study that sequences the genome of Nepenthes gracilis, a species of carnivorous plant related to Venus flytraps, as well as sundews, beets and spinach.

Its other plant life include sundews, which feed on insects that get trapped in their sticky tentacles.

At Westhay Nature Reserve, sphagnum moss and sundews form a carpet on the boggy ground and the wetlands attract rare birds such as bitterns and curlews.

Triantha got more than half of its nitrogen from prey, similar to sundews, a carnivorous plant living nearby, the team reports today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

His team is sequencing two additional sundew species to help clarify what happened.
