#Headline Creation Challenge # Little Bottle Grass
This carnivorous plant is highly adapted to the environment of poor acidic soils. They digest insects to obtain phosphorus and nitrogen that the body needs. Insects are attracted by its nectar into the slender tubular bottle-shaped leaves, hence the plant's name. The inside of the bottle-like leaf is covered with a smooth layer of wax and downward-growing villi, which get rougher the closer it is to the bottom of the bottle. If an insect is unfortunate enough to fall into it, it will not be able to escape and will eventually die of exhaustion. The digestive glands located at the wall of the tube secrete digestive enzymes that break down insects, digest them into a serous slurry, and then absorb them into the leaves, providing valuable nutrients to the plant.
Insect traps
Insects caught by bottle-like leaves are difficult to escape. The leaves digest the soft parts of their bodies, leaving a skeleton.
florescence
From the end of March to the middle of May, the yellow flowers are odorless, and bees are their main pollinators. These plants are preferred by bees to other plants around.
Endangered carnivorous plant
Because of the loss of habitat, the vial grass has become very rare and has become an endangered species. They are mainly found in North Carolina, South Carolina, etc., and they have two variants: one can grow up to 30 centimeters; The other can grow up to 1.2 meters.
