Two Kodachrome Slides showing a close up of the Bird Catching Plant with feathers and an insect attached ‘Heimerliodendron brunn. Para Para. Insect and Feathers. Pukekura Park 05/07/1979. G.Fuller’

The scientific name is now known as Pisonia brunoniana

This is the only NZ representative of the sub-tropical plants that produce sticky fruits (in February and March) which may capture and kill birds or lizards. Gardeners remove the seed pods to ensure the safety of wildlife.
