Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Science & Nature
Francis Ernest Lloyd’s classic reference, The Carnivorous Plants, surveys the weird and wonderful world of Venus flytraps, pitcher plants, and sundews in 352 illustrated pages. First released in 1942, this 1976 affordable paperback reprint keeps Lloyd’s authoritative botany text intact for hobbyists, students, and nature lovers alike.
Detailed line drawings and photographs clarify trapping mechanisms, habitat needs, and cultivation tips, making the volume a trusted companion for terrarium builders, science fair projects, or backyard bog gardens. Its durable, shelf-friendly format invites frequent consultation without the worry of damaging a rare first edition.
This gently read copy shows only light cover scuffs and typical page-edge foxing; the interior remains crisp, unmarked, and free of smoke or musty odors. A solid, budget-friendly addition to any botany, gardening, or natural-history shelf.
