  Rarexoticseeds - Graines Genlisea Aurea Seeds (Genlisea Seeds, Corkscrew Plant)
Genlisea Aurea is one of the largest species in the genus Genlisea.
When not in flower, Genlisea Aurea is the easiest Genlisea species to recognize in Brazil, because of its rosettes composed by dozens of narrow leaves covered by a thick layer of gelatinous transparent mucilage, especially in shady habitats.
Genlisea is a genus related to both Utricularia and Pinguicula with perhaps the strangest trapping method of all the carnivorous plants.

Genlisea uncinata P.Taylor and Fromm-Trinta was described as a new species in 1983, based on a single collection of a few dried inflorescences.
These had been collected three years previously on a faraway peak of the Serra do Sincorá, which is part of the Chapada Diamantina, a series of sandstone highlands in the state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil.

 Adaptive evolution of cytochrome c oxidase: Infrastructure for a carnivorous plant radiation -- Jobson et al. 101 (52): ...
a, divergence of the flypaper trapping strategy (Pinguicula); b, ancestral Utricularia/Genlisea active-pumping suction pitcher prototype; c, corkscrew trapping strategy (Genlisea) with the loss of active pumping; d, Utricularia maintains ATP driven active pumping, with the development of the trap door innovation, which seals a negative internal pressure required for suction-bladder trapping.
Colored branches indicate the ancestral Leu-113-Ser-114 motif (red), with gain of functional changes Cys-113-Cys-114 (blue) in the Utricularia/Genlisea ancestor (with Genlisea represented here by Genlisea hispidula; Table 1) followed by partial loss to Cys-113-Ser-114 (green) in Genlisea aurea or complete reversal to Leu-113-Ser-114 (red) in Genlisea violacea (Table 1).
Images show Pinguicula (Top), with flypaper trapping leaves; Genlisea (Middle) with digestive bulb (uppermost), forked region where corkscrew traps begin, and an individual corkscrew trap; Utricularia (Bottom) with suction-trapping bladders and branched appendages at their trap doors.

Light, is bright shade, with a few hours direct sunlight, not during the middle of the day.
I'm going to remove these aquatic plants, there are about 7, only the largest is shown, and hopefully grow them on conventionally and place the bowl on a fl plastic saucer, to prevent any light getting in from below, and see if that works.
The small plants forming around the edges of the pot are typical for most of the commonly cultivated Genlisea and under my conditions they ensure that there are replacements and spare material if the main, older plants die.
