Here are some microscope shots of my Genlisea...
I find it hard to take these pictures because the outer cells have air pockets that reflect a lot of the light. It's like trying to take a picture through bubblewrap.
Subterranean leaf. A stalk gland seems to seal the trap above and below the opening.
A view of the stalk gland.
External stalk gland. I always see a lot of stuff stuck to them.
Another group of stalk glands.
The tube between the leaf and the bulb of the plant.
Typical Genlisea prey in the bulb.
