Two New Species Of Carnivorous Plants Discovered High In The Ecuadorian Mountains ...
By Rainforest Trust - May 15, 2023
P. jimburensis and P. ombrophila have joined the ranks as the two new species described in the study. Found on the shore of a highland lagoon at 3,400 meters (11,154 feet) and on a vertical rock face 2,900 meters (9,514 feet) up, these species are insectivorous... Unfortunately this is the only known location of these two species, which make them extremely vulnerable. One positive is that the area where the flowers were found is extremely difficult to access, making them somewhat safer from human interference.
