==Cultivation==
The stems are thin, wiry and woody, covered with sticky yellow hairs. The [[leaf|leaves]] are three- to five-lobed and viscid-hairy. They give off an unpleasant odour when crushed. The [[flower]]s are white to pale cream coloured, about 5-6 cm diameter. The [[fruit]] is globose, 2-3 cm diameter, yellowish-orange to red when ripe, and has numerous black [[seed]]s embedded in the pulp; the fruit are eaten and the seeds dispersed by [[bird]]s.

The bracts of this plant serve as [[insect]] traps, but it is as yet unknown whether the plant digests and gains nourishment from the trapped insects or if it merely uses the bracts as a defensive mechanism to protect its flowers and fruit. This is still an issue of debate and research among [[carnivorous plant]] enthusiasts.
