Carnivorous Angiosperms in India

Carnivorous Angiosperms in India: 1 pdf attached.
eFlora of India is not only showcasing general plants of the Indian subcontinent but it is also rich in specific types of plants like carnivorous angiosperms. I tried to compile a list of carnivorous angiosperms of India and their presence in eFlora of India. As evident in the list attached, nearly half of the Indian carnivorous angiosperms can be seen in our website which I think is the largest collection after the information available at ENVIS center of BSI. As an advantage eFI has multiple images of each species and is also enriched with some exotic carnivorous species.
I request all of you to kindly go through this list for two purposes:

1. Is there any species which is not listed. If so, it may be added.
2. Those species which are not available in eFlora of India need to be added. Some of them are new species and a mail to authors requesting submission of image(s) may be sent to known authors.

Once we have consensus on this list, it may be added as a separate page in eFlora of India.

Carnivorous plants, despite their false gruesome stories in varied cultures, fascinate the common man as well as scientists. India sustains a considerable number of carnivorous angiosperm species. Perusal of checklist of flowering plants of India by Botanical Survey of India and other recent literature show that 47 species of carnivorous angiosperms naturally occur in India. These species are listed below and the species shown in eFlora of India are linked with their pages for easy navigation:
