Newly Discovered Carnivorous Plant Eating Larvae, Tadpoles Stuns Indian Researchers - Report
07:54 GMT 27.06.2022 (Updated: 10:44 GMT 19.07.2022) A research project on the study of insectivorous plants in India's Uttarakhand state has been conducted since 2019, leading to the discovery of around 20 plant species belonging to different genera. One of them is the carnivorous plant species 'Utricularia Furcellata'.
A rare carnivorous plant species named 'Utricularia Furcellata' has reportedly been discovered in the Western Himalayan region in India's Uttarakhand, sparking off immense curiosity among researchers.
Uttarakhand Forest Range Officers Harish Negi and Junior Research Fellow Manoj Singh found the plant in the Mandal valley of Chamoli District during their study of insectivorous plants in the state, which has led to the discovery of around 20 plant species belonging to different genera.
The study published in the ‘Journal of Japanese Botany’ reportedly revealed that the carnivorous plant belongs to a genus commonly known as bladderworts.
“It uses one of the most sophisticated and developed plant structures for trap and the targets range from protozoa to insects, mosquito larvae and even young tadpoles. Its operation is based on a mechanical process of creating a vacuum or negative pressure area, to draw prey inside the trap door,” Chief Conservator of Forest (Research) Sanjiv Chaturvedi told Indian news agency PTI.
In 2020, a rare orchid species, Liparis Pygmaean, was found by the research wing of the Uttarakhand Forest Department which got published in the French journal ‘Richardiana’.
