Venus flytrap The Venus flytrap (also referred to as Venus's flytrap or Venus' flytrap), Dionaea muscipula, is a carnivorous plant native to subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina. It catches its prey—chiefly insects and arachnids—with a trapping structure formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves, which is triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces. When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap prepares to close, snapping shut only if another contact occurs within approximately twenty seconds of the first strike. The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against wasting energy by trapping objects with no nutritional value, and the plant will only begin digestion after five more stimuli to ensure it has caught a live bug worthy of consumption.

Siberian blue robin The Siberian blue robin ("Larvivora cyane") is a small passerine bird that was formerly classified as a member of the thrush family, "Turdidae", but is now more generally considered to belong to the Old World flycatcher family, "Muscicapidae". It and similar small European species are often called chats. Recent research suggests that this species and some other East Asian members of "Luscinia" should be classified in a new genus, together with the Japanese and Ryūkyū robins. The genus name "Larvivora" comes from the new Latin "larva" meaning caterpillar and "-vorus" meaning eating ("vorace" to devour), and "cyane" is Latin for "dark-blue".

Tessera (Venus) Tesserae are regions of heavily deformed terrain on Venus, characterized by two or more intersecting tectonic elements, high topography, and subsequent high radar backscatter. Tesserae often represent the oldest material at any given location and are among the most tectonically deformed terrains on Venus's surface. Diverse types of tessera terrain exist. It is not currently clear if this is due to a variety in the interactions of Venus's mantle with regional crustal or lithospheric stresses, or if these diverse terrains represent different locations in the timeline of crustal plateau formation and fall. Multiple models of tessera formation exist and further extensive studies of Venus's surface are necessary to fully understand this complex terrain.

List of geological features on Venus This is a list of geological features on Venus. Venus is the second planet from the Sun. Venus is classified as a terrestrial planet and it is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet" owing to their similar size, gravity, and bulk composition (Venus is both the closest planet to Earth and the planet closest in size to Earth). The surface of Venus is covered by a dense atmosphere and presents clear evidence of former violent volcanic activity. It has shield and composite volcanoes similar to those found on Earth.

Dracophyllum Dracophyllum is a genus of plants belonging to the family Ericaceae, formerly Epacridaceae. There are some one hundred or so species in the genus, mostly shrubs but also cushion plants and trees, found in New Zealand, Australia and New Caledonia. The name, "Dracophyllum" or dragon-leaf refers to their strong similarity to the unrelated "Dracaena", sometimes known as dragon tree. Although dicotyledonous, they resemble primitive monocots with their slender leaves concentrated in clumps at the ends of the branches; they are sometimes called grass-trees.

Drosera aliciae Drosera aliciae, the Alice sundew, is a carnivorous plant in the family Droseraceae. It is native to the Cape Provinces of South Africa, like "Drosera capensis", the cape sundew, and is one of the most common sundews in cultivation. The plant forms small, tight rosettes of wedge-shaped leaves, up to 5 cm in diameter. Under conditions of good lighting, the insect-snagging tentacles will become deeply coloured with anthocyanin pigments, which probably aid in its attraction of insect prey. The plant is relatively easy to grow, and produces attractive scapes of pink flowers, which are held about 30 cm away from the carnivorous leaves, so as to prevent pollinators from becoming ensnared. "D. aliciae" is very similar in form to a number of other closely related species such as "D. slackii", and "D. dielsiana": the former is rather larger (8 cm diameter); the latter rather smaller (3 cm diameter).

Though native to the tropical and subtropical areas throughout the world, its centre of diversity is in Tropical Asia. "Ixora" also grows commonly in subtropical climates in the United States, such as Florida where it is commonly known as "West Indian Jasmine". Other common names include "viruchi", "rangan", "kheme", "ponna", "chann tanea", "techi", "pan", "siantan", "jarum-jarum/jejarum", "jungle flame", "jungle geranium" among others. The plants possess leathery leaves, ranging from 3 to 6 inches in length, and produce large clusters of tiny flowers in the summer. Members of Ixora prefer acidic soil, and are suitable choices for bonsai. It is also a popular choice for hedges in parts of South East Asia. In tropical climates they flower year round and are commonly used in Hindu worship, as well as in ayurveda and Indian folk medicine.

Vagrant lichen A vagrant lichen is a lichen that is either not attached to a substrate, or can become unattached then blow around, yet continue to grow and flourish. Some authors use the expression "erratic lichen" as synonymous with "vagrant lichen", and others only for those lichens that never attach (obligate erratic). Vagrant lichens generally occur in open and windswept habitats, all over the world, in all kinds of temperature zones. Habitats include saltbush (mallee) vegetation zones in Australia, steppes of Eurasia, Arctic tundra, and the North American prairie. They range from the low elevations of the Namib Desert to the high altitude Andean páramo. There are under 100 identified vagrant species, most commonly in the "Aspicilia" and "Xanthoparmelia" genera.
