Cephalotus (/ˌsɛfəˈloʊtəs/ or /ˌkɛfəˈloʊtəs/; Greek: κεφαλή "head", and οὔς/ὠτός "ear", to describe the head of the anthers)[3] is a genus which contains one species, Cephalotus follicularis the Albany pitcher plant,[4] a small carnivorous pitcher plant. The pit-fall traps of the modified leaves have inspired the common names for this plant, which also include Western Australian pitcher plant, Australian pitcher plant, or fly-catcher plant. It is an evergreen herb that is endemic to peaty swamps in the southwestern corner of Western Australia.[5] As with the unrelated Nepenthes, it catches its victims with pitfall traps.
