Triphyophyllum

The Triphyophyllum is a unique carnivorous species in which it is part of a rare genus within its own group. The Triphyophyllum has a unique growing method in which it has three different growth habits within its life cycle, and can live for many years overtaking lots of space with their beautiful vines.

This first growth habit is quite plain and resembles a small palm tree, with unremarkable leaves that really serve no purpose besides photosynthesis.

The second growth is where it forms its carnivorous "tentacles" capturing prey very similar to how a sundew captures its prey. however it doesn't curl around its caught prey.

The third growth is the most appealing and beautiful, where it then shoots out vines that flower and have leaves with hooks that will climb along the trees. The flowers may also aid in attracting insects for the sticky tendrils, and providing pollination for the plant. The vines may take over much space and spread over long distances.
