Typical plants include pitcher plants, sundew, cotton grass, and poison sumac.
Some vegetation of a high moor nature still exists, consisting mainly of cottongrass, cranberries, heather, sundew and, in the peat cuttings, peat moss.
A small additional income for many was to gather mushrooms and berries, pinecones, as well as water lilies and sundews (drosera).
Such snares are termed flypaper traps, but the trapping mechanism of sundews is often erroneously described as passive.
The rapid acid growth allows the sundew tentacles to bend, aiding in the retention and digestion of prey.
It is a tiny sundew with a solitary white flower as its name would suggest.
Like most sundews, it grows in warm wet, sandy, peaty areas with high humidity and low nutrient levels in the soil.
But even these wetter locations burn during dry periods, allowing regeneration of species of pitcher plant and sundew.
