Drosera, which is commonly known as the sundews, is one of the largest genera of carnivorous plants, with at least 194 species. [2] These members of the family Droseraceae [1] lure, capture, and digest insects using stalked mucilaginous glands covering their leaf surfaces.

This list of carnivorous plants is a comprehensive listing of all known carnivorous plant species, of which more than 750 are currently recognised. [1] Unless otherwise stated it is based on Jan Schlauer's Carnivorous Plant Database Archived 2016-09-18 at the Wayback Machine. Extinct taxa are denoted with a dagger (†).
Insectivorous plants include the Venus flytrap, several types of pitcher plants, butterworts, sundews, bladderworts, the waterwheel plant, brocchinia and many members of the Bromeliaceae. The list is far from complete, and some plants, such as Roridula species, exploit the prey organisms mainly in a mutualistic relationship with other creatures ...
Recent surveys revealed an overall 726 species of flowering plants belonging to 496 genera and 120 families. This represents about one–fourth of the vascular plant species of the Odisha state where some 2900 species altogether are found. Fabaceae is the most dominant plant family followed by Poaceae and Cyperaceae. Certain species were found ...
Taxa are included at region level if widely found in the region. For the purposes of this category, the "Indian subcontinent" is defined in accordance with the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. That is, the geographic region is defined as including the following areas:
