'Jaws Smiley'

"Dionaea ' Jaws Smiley ' G.Hoogenstrijd produces distorted foliage and the entire leaf rosette can look severely twisted. The leaves consists of short, very broad leaf bases which bear elongated traps that are up to 5 cm long and curve backwards along the midrib. The margins of the trap lobes are lined with short, stout, inward-pointing marginal lashes. The orientation of the lashes prevents some traps from fully closing, although others may be fully functional.
When grown exposed to direct sunlight, the interior surfaces of the traps develop pinkish red colouration. Most other parts of the foliage are yellowish green. The marginal lashes are pale in colour and can appear white. Dionaea ' Jaws Smiley ' G.Hoogenstrijd must be propagated vegetatively. This cultivar can be easily propagated by rhizome cuttings." Bailey & McPherson, Dionaea:254 (2013)
