	Text 5-Carnivorous Plant Butterworts by Makoto Honda
		Butterworts are rosette of thin leaves, typically lying prostrate, with white, fibrous roots.
		Many butterwort rosettes have close resemblance to each other, and it is often difficult to distinguish one species from another when the plants are out of flower.
		All butterworts produce a showy display of colorful flowers which are borne at the tip of a slender, often glandular, pubescent scape.

		The butterwort is easily distinguished from its sometime neighbor, the sundew, by its plump, glistening, yellowish-green leaves, which are supposed to resemble little pats of butter, and from this the plant has gained its common name.
		And all that is left of that insect is the wings, the claws, the skin and the indigestible parts of its skeleton.
		Although the butterwort will have nothing to do with such useless things as sand, coal dust, paper and so forth, it likes vegetable, as well as animal food, and when little bits of other plants, pollen, and spores fall upon its leaves they are speedily dissolved and digested in the fluid.
