Roridula - Flycatcher Bush or Vlieebos in Afrikaans

Two species within this genus are found in South Africa. Some consider this not to be a carnivorous plant as no digestive enzymes are produced. Instead, the plants rely on a mutualistic relationship with the bug Pameridea roridulae, which feed on insects trapped on the resinous leaves and then defecate "digested insects" on the plants, providing nutrients for them.
