Geranium viscosissimum : ウィキペディア英語版 | Geranium viscosissimum
''Geranium viscosissimum'', commonly known as the sticky purple geranium, is a perennial in the Geraniaceae family of flowering plants.〔(USDA Plants Database )〕 It is thought to be a protocarnivorous plant. ==Carnivory==
In his 1999 journal article, G.G. Spomer tested several plants in the Pacific Northwest for the carnivorous syndrome, using the digestion of proteins as the diagnostic tool to determine which plants appeared to produce protease enzymes capable of breaking down potential prey. ''Geranium viscosissimum'' displayed a capability to digest and absorb the 14C-labeled algal protein placed on the sticky trichomes that the plant possesses. However, it is not known whether the digestive enzymes were produced by the plant itself or surface microbes.〔Spomer, G.G. (1999). Evidence of protocarnivorous capabilities in ''Geranium viscosissimum'' and ''Potentilla arguta'' and other sticky plants. ''International Journal of Plant Sciences'', 160(1): 98-101.〕 Additionally, some definitions of carnivory require the plant to gain some tangible benefit in capturing and digesting prey, such as increased seed yield or growth. Such an experiment has not been done with this species.
