* Only angiosperms, or flowering
plants, are considered here.
*
Drosophyllum
is placed in its own family.
* Some authors, including
Lloyd (1942) and Juniper et al., consider Roridula
non-carnivorous.
* Following P. Taylor
(1989) and others, Biovularia (B. olivacea)
and Polypompholyx (P. multifida and
P. tenella) are placed in Utricularia.
