Laquephylia Aeternus

”Laquephylia Aeternus” (from the Latin ”Laques”, trap), the only species of the genus Laquephyla, is a carnivorous plant particularly present in warm, sunny and humid climatic zones. It is considered the most lethal and long-lived carnivorous species in the world and can live up to 30 years. The plant was accidentally generated in 1840, due to experiments by botanist J. Hubert. Laquephyla is an insectivorous species and has all kinds of insect trapping. In fact, it is equipped with a pitfall trap, a borderline carnivore, a flypapers trap, and a snap trap. It has therefore four trapping mechanisms, possibly also at the same time, thus taking a lot of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. And it is able to use the nitrates of the soil when it prefers, as it has the necessary enzymes. Furthermore, the plant protects itself by becoming dormant during the winter seasons.
