Darlingtonia californica, the California Pitcher Plant, has leaves that form pitcher-shaped traps for insects. The insects are digested in the liquid at the base of the pitcher and become food for the plant. Pitcher Plants only grow in cold-water bogs or fens and are native to Oregon and Northern California. Darlingtonia are threatened by plant collectors and loss of habitat.
