Heliamphora (Sun pitchers)

The Heliamphora genus consists of some of the oldest and most primitive carnivorous plants. These Sun Pitcher Plants are native to Venezuela and Brazil, where they grow exclusively on the isolated Table Mountains (tepuis) of South America. Their unique habitat makes them one of the rarest and most fascinating carnivorous plant groups.
