There are highly detailed treatments on the biosvstematics, evolution, and life histories of four rather large families, including the Droseraceae, which includes two basic trap types: the "flypaper" trap as seen in Drosera and the "snap-trap" as seen in Dionea, popularly known as the Venus Fly Trap; the monotypic family, Nepenlhaceae, and the Sarraceniaceae, with three genera, produce pitchers, or "pitfall" traps; the Lentibulariaceae includes
Pinguicula, with "flypaper" traps, Genlisea, with eel or "lobster pot" traps, and U'tricularia, with suction or "bladder" traps.
Characteristic species: Acaena pumila, Caltha appendiculata, Carpha schoenoides, Droserauniflora, Gaultheriapumila, Marsippospermum grandiflorum, Myrteola nummularia, Perezia lactucoides,
Pinguicula antarctica, Tetroncium magellanicum.

The common butterwort,
Pinguicula vulgaris, a British native, is also an insectivorous plant.
Mendez and Karlsson (2004) found reproductive biomass to be size-dependent in all the studied populations of
Pinguicula vulgaris L.
