| Abstract: | Observations of the digestive glands, trigger hairs, epidermal surface, nectar glands, touch receptors, and stomata of Dionaea muscipula, the Venus's flytrap, were carried out by means of scanning electron microscopy. Previously undescribed details of the surface topography were resolved which may correlate with certain functions of the plant. |
