The Droseraceae are a family of carnivorous plants, commonly known as the sundew family. They include Drosera (the sundews), which produce sticky substances that trap prey, and Dionaea muscipula, the Venus fly trap, which has leaves modified to form traps that close when disturbed. Two other genera, Drosophyllum, and Aldrovanda, resemble a large sundew, and an aquatic Venus flytrap respectively.
