  Droseraceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Droseraceae is the botanical name for a family of flowering plants.
Recent molecular and biochemical evidence (see the AP-Website) suggests that the carnivorous taxa in the order Caryophyllales (the families Droseraceae, Drosophyllaceae, Nepenthaceae, and the species Triphyophyllum peltatum) all belong to the same clade which does not consist only of carnivorous plants but also includes some non-carnivorous plants such as those in the family Ancistrocladaceae.
Droseraceae in L. Watson and M.J. Dallwitz (1992 onwards).

 Nepenthales: Droseraceae & Nepenthaceae
In the photosynthetic autotrophic kingdom of plants, there are few among the green, leafy and inanimate that have evolved a certain taste for other organisms.
Upon digestion, the nutrients extracted from the prey are absorbed at the bases of the glands for over 3 to 5 days depending on temperature and the size of the prey.
Reproduction in Droseraceae occurs through insect pollination and involves relatively small flowers that are usually characterized by white, violet, or red colors.

In Droseraceae the most frequent basic number appears to be x=5 (x=10), being found in many taxa especially in Drosera subg.
It is remarkable that Droseraceae as well as Nepenthacae have reached the same ploidy level (8x or 16x).
It is evident that in Droseraceae all ploidy levels are present, whereas in Nepenthes diploid and lower polyploids have already gone extinct and the radiation was restricted to a high ploidy level.
