The Carnivorous Plant Society

The Carnivorous Plant Society was formed in London in 1978 to promote the study and conservation of carnivorous plants. It became a registered charity in 1981.

The Society brings together anyone interested in these amazing plants – from novice growers to the world’s leading experts – to protect the species and habitats that are most at risk; inspire and teach the public; and to encourage cultivation. This work is made possible through the support of the Society’s fantastic members.

The Society is based in the UK but welcomes members from around the world.

This website has been a helpful resource for me when researching particular clones of Sarracenia. The de-confusifier helps when reconciling clones with multiple clone numbers from different growers.
