Carnivorous Plants of Australian Rainforests

Question: What carnivorous plants in Australia's rainforests?

Answer

Hello Mike,

Homework question? Can't answer specifically.

I don't know every species in Australian rainforests—never researched that. But there are several sundews and a few Nepenthes there. Search online for "sundews Australia" and "Nepenthes Australia".
