This week’s topic: Sticky plants! Yep, mucilages & glues; form & function. Lots to talk about. Some stickiness has an obvious function, e.g. insect trapping on Drosera (#Drosophyllaceae) & adhesive pads on climbing Parthenocissus quinquefolia (#Vitaceae). #stickyplant

@Scott_Zona Drosera is in Droseraceae, not Drosophyllaceae. The latter only contains Drosophyllum lusitanicum, which was split from Droseraceae a few years ago.
