The quantity of prey captured [by carnivorous plants] is sometimes quite large ... A butterwort such as Pinguicula grandiflora grows one new leaf about every five days, so that a total of 400 square centimeters of catching surface may be produced in a single season, even though the diameter of the leaf rosette never exceeds eight centimeters.
