Dionaea muscipula 'Fangzahn'The Venus flytrap cultivar Dionaea muscipula 'Fangzahn' originated in Germany in 2009. Its name translates from German as "fang tooth". This name directly refers to the plant's most prominent feature. The cultivar sets itself apart with its exceptionally long marginal lashes. These are the stiff, hair like projections on the edge of each trap. On 'Fangzahn', these lashes can grow up to 1. 6 cm long. They emerge from traps that measure up to 3. 6 cm in

likely resulting from a natural back-cross between Sarracenia flava var

with a slight undulation in the lid from the influence of Sarracenia leucophylla

The pitchers develop throughout the growing season

The plant shows a strong genetic influence from Sarracenia flava
