Abstract:

The Venus's flytrap, which occurs naturally only in a few counties in North and South Carolina, is on the state's Species of Special Concern list. It is also a much-sought plant on the world-wide black market for insectivorous plants. Recently 200 poached plants were recovered and replanted in a remote section of the Holly Shelter Game Land.
