For those of you who have entered the tropical forest in the jungle of Borneo should see this plant is not too foreign, local people call it "pocket semar", usually trapping prey semar bag by opening the valve on the bag of interest is then when the victim entered will usually sink to the water because in the bag and there was water valve to close and eventually mangsapun suffocation. But recently in the Philippines a scientist from England Sir David Attenborough discovered the same species, but are very large giant alias, and not half hearted plant "semar bag" even this giant not only prey on insects, but animals can die of tikuspun made. Malignant also this unique plant. Almost all British world class media such as the Daily Mail, The Sun and The Telegraph on it, but for us it is not so special It is reminiscent of an old time movie with Audrey figures, plants that eat humans in 1986 under the title Film Little Shop of Horrors, so write media media trying to shape the plant with a film story. In Latin term semar bag is known as Nepenthes, type semar bag itself is very much its variants are found in the Philippines and this is huge so do not be surprised if you are able to prey on a mouse trapped inside.
Formerly the British scientist is interested to pursue this unique species after finding out some info from some Catholic Missionary who was in the interior and saw no plants capable of swallowing live mice. In the expedition this time in Southeast Asia Sir David and his team also found 13 new species of rare plants and have never known before such a red mushroom that has a rare specification. In my opinion, we are in fact many scientists who have more knowledge as researchers from IPB and others who have an interest in the botanical world we just do not embodied by a world-class publicity that support so that there is a foreign scientist who discovered something spectacular regarded by the press world. It is time for the world of research we can publish to the biodiversity of the world because we are one of the richest in the world, it's a shame when people who claim the findings.
