Pitcher plant
Pitcher plant, Nepenthes khasiana is the only nepenthes species native to India. This carnivorous plant attracts insects by fluorescent liquid. This critically endangered species is very endemic to Jaintia hills and Garo hills, Meghalaya. At present found only in 20 sites in wild and declines further as a result of expanding agriculture, coal mining, limestone extraction, road and bridge construction. I found this plant in a private land during my trip to Meghalaya.
