If you were to take a walk along the beach around Esperance Bay between Albany and Esperance, Australia, you might stumble across a very peculiar looking carnivorous plant. The Cephalotus follicularis, also known as the Australian pitcher plant or the Albany pitcher plant, is a compact, low-growing plant with little hairy pit-fall traps. Like the Venus fly trap, the Cephalotus follicularis is a monotypic genus, meaning that it is the only species (follicularis) in its genus (Cephalotus). Further, it is the only species in the monogeneric family Cephalotaceae.
