Nepenthales

Nepenthales

Nepenthales is a botanical name for an order of flowering plants. The name was used by the Cronquist system for an order in subclass Dilleniidae, which in the 1981 version of this system included:

The APG II system assigns this last family to the order Ericales and the first two to the order Caryophyllales. This is counter to what would be expected from the method of catching insects. Here, the Droseraceae stand apart, the sundews catching insects with adhesive droplets and the Venus Flytrap capturing them in leaves with interlocking teeth. The other two families include pitcher plants, which drown their prey.
