Hereafter I shall be excessively glad to read a paper about Aldrovanda. From Wordnik.com. [More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2] Reference
Utricularia, more especially of Utricularia montana, although this genus is not related to Aldrovanda. From Wordnik.com. [Insectivorous Plants] Reference
Drosophyllum, and Dionaea; almost certainly with Aldrovanda; and, from analogy, very probable with Roridula and Byblis. From Wordnik.com. [Insectivorous Plants] Reference
The three varieties or closely allied species of Aldrovanda, like so many water-plants, have a wide range from Central Europe to Bengal and. From Wordnik.com. [Insectivorous Plants] Reference
Drosera, through the same means, together with the movements of the tentacles; by Dionaea and Aldrovanda, through the closing of the blades of the leaf. From Wordnik.com. [Insectivorous Plants] Reference

We can thus understand how it is that the three first-named genera are provided with such small roots, and that Aldrovanda is quite rootless; about the roots of the two other genera nothing is known. From Wordnik.com. [Insectivorous Plants] Reference
I am greatly indebted to this distinguished naturalist for having sent me a copy of his memoir on Aldrovanda, before its publication in his 'Beitrge zur Biologie der Pflanzen,' drittes Heft, 1875, page 71. From Wordnik.com. [Insectivorous Plants] Reference
It would appear that this has actually occurred to a partial extent with the leaves of Aldrovanda; the outer parts of which possess absorbent organs, but no glands fitted for the secretion of any digestive fluid, these being confined to the inner parts. From Wordnik.com. [Insectivorous Plants] Reference
From facts hereafter to be given in the chapters on Aldrovanda and Utricularia, it seemed probable that they served to absorb decayed matter left by the captured insects; but their position on the backs of the leaves and on the footstalks rendered this almost impossible. From Wordnik.com. [Insectivorous Plants] Reference
The parent form of Dionaea and Aldrovanda seems to have been closely allied to Drosera, and to have had rounded leaves, supported on distinct footstalks, and furnished with tentacles all round the circumference, with other tentacles and sessile glands on the upper surface. From Wordnik.com. [Insectivorous Plants] Reference
The circumferential part of the leaf of Aldrovanda thus differs greatly from that of Dionaea; nor can the points on the rim be considered as homologous with the spikes round the leaves of Dionaea, as these latter are prolongations of the blade, and not mere epidermic productions. From Wordnik.com. [Insectivorous Plants] Reference
We shall hereafter see, when we treat of Dionaea, that this same conclusion, namely that the motor impulse is not transmitted by the fibro-vascular bundles, is plainly confirmed; and Prof. Cohn has come to the same conclusion with respect to Aldrovanda -- both members of the Droseraceae. From Wordnik.com. [Insectivorous Plants] Reference
The transverse rows of hairs are so numerous that they seem superfluous merely for the sake of preventing the escape of prey, and as they are thin and delicate, they probably serve as additional absorbents, in the same manner as the flexible bristles on the infolded margins of the leaves of Aldrovanda.
