Probiscidea loisianica
Her name is the devil horn (Probiscidea louisianica) from Ameriks, it is 40-60 cm high and it grows comfortably in pots. It could not be said that it is beautiful, it is undoubtedly very interesting. The basic characteristic of this plant is to stop the surface covered with tiny shades that light a resilient resin of intense and unpleasant smell (it reminds of chlorine and ammonia) that adorns small insects. muscles, small flies and cornices. Flying narratives take off her leaves and trees, where they remain stuck, they soon die. Devil horn is not a carnivorous in the right sense, and word is, for example, a rosulja, since it does not produce enamels necessary for digestion of insects. She embraces them through the stem as a fox: the insects, after they have reasoned, feed this interesting grabber. One-year herb and fast veins already with the first colds, but it is very easy to reproduce with seeds. The visits are in diameter of 15 to 18 cm in diameter, infused with the usual land of garden, moderately watered with plain water from the water supply system, and when they emerge more rapidly. keep them in a sunny place.
The fruits of the devil horn are berries wrapped in a green ornament thickened at the bottom, while at the other end there is an extraction in the form of a surcle from which the Latin name implies.
When it mucks,the mucous membranes dry and separated so that the wooden shell can be spotted, the sarla is then opens in the middle and creating two sharp hooked sequins for the animal's hair, which are thus transferred away from the mother plant. Because of this aggressive, all-undoubtedly efficient way of reproduction the plant is called a the devil claw.
