高山發現新食肉植物

研究人員在探索厄瓜多爾山區的一個偏遠潟湖時,發現了兩種新的食肉植物(Pinguicula jimburensis 及 Pinguicula ombrophila)。 這些植物可以捕捉並消化粘在它們葉子上的小昆蟲,以獲得額外的營養。這些新物種僅棲息在一個地點及只有少量個體,所以被評估為易危物種。

Two new species of carnivorous plants (Pinguicula jimburensis and Pinguicula ombrophila) were discovered on the mountains of Ecuador when researchers were exploring an isolated lagoon. These plants can catch and digest small insects that get stuck to their slimy leaves to get an additional source of nutrients. These new species are only known from a single location with a small amount of individuals; researchers evaluated them to be vulnerable species.
