Systematics and evolution of Lentibulariaceae: II. Genlisea

Systematics and evolution of Genlisea (corkscrew plants) (Lentibulariaceae) are treated. Vegetative and generative morphology of the plants, and anatomy of their rhizophylls (‘root-leaves’) that function as sophisticated eel traps are explained and illustrated. A simplified phylogenetic tree and a detailed distribution map are provided, and the evolutionary history, including genome and karyotype evolution, and phylobiogeography of the 30 currently known species of Genlisea are discussed.
