Carnivorous Plant Names Database

The official Carnivorous Plant Database is maintained by Jan Schlauer and available directly on a different web site or you may download a copy of the text version as used here. This database used in the search here is extracted from the official database. Use the "raw database entry" option to see Jan's entries. For search selections, there could be omissions and other extraction errors. If you don't find what you expect or you think there are errors or you are using this database for "official" purposes, please check the raw entries. If there are discrepancies between what is displayed in the report and what is shown in the raw database entry, please report those issues to the web page maintainer. If you have issues with the database entries themselves, please contact Jan Schlauer. Keep in mind too that just because this is considered the official database of carnivorous plant names, that doesn't mean we all agree with the status given for all the names (search for Drosera anglica as an example--use "all names").

The name search entry can include multiple words or word fragments. The search will look for occurrences in the database that contain ALL the word or word fragments in the entry. For example, "dros al" will find over 25 Drosera species that have "al" in their name while "dros alic" or even "alic" will only find Drosera aliciae. If you leave the field blank, it will find all. That can result in a very long list.

Floristic provinces are based on A. Takhtajan (1986) Floristic Regions of the World, University of California Press, Berkeley. Note that floristic provinces with names of actual places do not necessarily mean the whole of that place is the province. For instance, the "California" province only includes the parts of California that are uniquely Californian. Parts of the state of California are included in the Great Basin, Sonora, and Vancouver floristic provinces. Listing of floristic provinces as used here .

Country codes are based on ISO 3166 from the International Organization for Standardization. Listing of country codes as used here.
