Paepalanthus bromelioides Silveira, of the Eriocaulaceae, is another little known but very bromeliad-like phytotelm that may even be fully carnivorous. It certainly catches and drowns insects between its rosetted leaves, but it may not be able to digest them, an ability considered to be an essential criterion to qualify as a fully carnivorous plant. It occurs at 1000 m. (3281 ft.) or higher altitudes on the Brazilian edge of the Gran Sabana.
Any updates on this? ;D
