Fig. 1.

(A) Growth habit of Genlisea (an excavated plant of G. flexuosa is shown) illustrating the green photosynthetic leaves and the pale white, subterranean carnivorous trap leaves (=rhizophylls). (B) Inflorescence of Genlisea (G. aurea var. minor is shown). The most apical, juvenile flower buds (*, with the sepals still touching each other at their tips) bear anthers at the right stage of development, with pollen mother cells suitable for meiotic chromosome counts. (C, D) Two stages of young, developing rhizophylls used for mitotic chromosome counts. Only the apical tips of the rhizophylls (arrows) containing meristematic cells (visible as milky white tissue) were used for preparation. Scale bars = 1 cm.
