Carnivorous plant - Classification
The classification of all flowering plants is currently in a state of flux. In the Cronquist system, the Droseraceae and Nepenthaceae were placed in the order Nepenthales, based on the radial symmetry of their flowers, and their possession of insect-traps. The Sarraceniaceae was placed either in the Nepenthales, or in its own order, the Sarraceniales. The Byblidaceae, Cephalotaceae, and Roridulaceae were placed in the Saxifragales; and the Lentibulariaceae in the Scrophulariales.
In more modern classification, such as that of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, the families have been retained, but they have been redistributed amongst several disparate orders. It is also recommended that Drosophyllum be considered in a monotypic family outside the rest of the Droseraceae, probably more closely allied to the Dioncophyllaceae. The current recommendations are shown below (only carnivorous genera are listed):
Carnivorous plant - Dicots
- Caryophyllales, (carnation order)
- Dioncophyllaceae
- Triphyophyllum, (a tropical liana)
- Drosophyllaceae
- Drosophyllum, (Portuguese dewy pine)
- Droseracaeae, (sundew family)
- Aldrovanda, (waterwheel plant)
- Dionaea, (Venus flytrap)
- Drosera, (sundews)
- Nepenthaceae, (tropical pitcher-plant family)
- Nepenthes, (tropical pitcher plants or monkey-cups, including Anurosperma)
- Ericales (heather order)
- Roridulaceae
- Roridula, (a borderline carnivore)
- Sarraceniaceae (trumpet pitcher family)
- Sarracenia, (North American trumpet pitchers)
- Darlingtonia, (cobra plant/lily)
- Heliamphora, (sun or marsh pitchers)
- Lamiales, (mint order)
- Byblidaceae
- Lentibulariaceae, (bladderwort family)
- Pinguicula, (butterworts)
- Genlisea, (corkscrew plant)
- Utricularia, (bladderworts, including Polypompholyx, the fairy aprons or pink petticoats and Biovularia an obsolete genus)
- Martyniaceae, (all borderline carvivores, related to the sesame plant)
- Oxalidales, (wood sorrel order)
- Cephalotus, (Albany pitcher plant)
Carnivorous plant - Monocots
- Poales, (grass order)
- Bromeliaceae, (bromeliad or pineapple family)
- Brocchinia, (a terrestrial bromeliad)
- Catopsis, (a borderline carnivore)
- Eriocaulaceae, (pipewort family)
- Paepalanthus, (a borderline carnivore)
