熱帯花木室では、ニューギニアに自生するマメ科の #キノメトラ・ブロウネオイデス を展示中です🌿🌿
芽吹いたばかりの若い葉は重なり合って生え、1つ1つが薄くハンカチのように見えることから、 #ハンカチーフツリー とも呼ばれています。お花のようにも見えてかわいらしいですよね😊🎀成長すると垂れていた枝が徐々に持ち上がり葉の色も緑色に変化していきます。

Native to Singapore, the Hooker’s Pitcher-Plant (Nepenthes × hookeriana) has pitcher-shaped leaf traps. Insects lured by nectar slip inside, where digestive enzymes break them down.
