    I saw the same in Peter's book, _Savage Garden_ but I thought that
Heliamphora and Darlingtonia both do produce their own digestive enzymes.
Perhaps this is a new find? I keep on hearing differing views about whether
or not these two genera (SP?) do produce their own enzymes. I suppose it
must be pretty difficult to test without worrying about getting a false
positive due to bactertial contamination...
