Aldrovanda - Definition and Overview

Aldrovanda vesiculosa

Aldrovanda vesiculosa is the sole species in the plant genus Aldrovanda. Commonly called the 'waterwheel plant', this plant feeds on small aquatic invertebrates, using traps very similar to those of the Venus fly trap. The traps are arranged in whorls around a central, free-floating stem, hence the common name.
