I'm not sure I understand your question. I'm german, you see, I
discovered the CP list only last week and I still don't know all the
English names for the plants. :-)
I admit I have only very limited knowledge, but I'll try to give you
some information. Following are all genuses (genii??) of carnivorous
plants (the latin names), the German names, as far as there is one and
the English names as far as I know them:
