« The most spectacular feature of this new cultivar is the extremely arched shape of all of the traps, which are 4 to 5 cm on mature plants. They made me think of the head of an alien from Ridley Scott's well-known 1979 movie 'Alien'. Dionaea muscipula ' Alien ' G.Bily also produces strange teeth that are a little shorter than typical Dionaea Soland. ex Ellis and have small wings all along the tooth. Mature traps are also fused at the distal end and base lobes of traps overlap. Traps do not close well because the lobes of the traps are very heavy, reminding me of a Heliamphora Benth. pitcher, and when you try to close it with your fingers it often breaks. Each trap produces many tiny trigger hairs. » Carniv.Pl.Newslett.39:119 (2010)

Note: the many sensitive hairs are located at the very heart of the trap, on the midrib, but only seem to appear on adult plants. The distal edges of the petioles show small extensions, forming protrusions / outgrowths, similar to Pet Teeth. This VFT is prostrated, and never produces erected trap.
