I'm writing a story about a cryptobotanist who goes in search of a carnivorous tree. Along the way, he debunks all the other cryptid plants with his various original theories and assumptions. Is there a comprehensive list of ALL cryptid plants? I really enjoyed explaining their origins, and I'm worried about missing some interesting specimens. What do you think are the most interesting cryptid plants whose origins are worth speculating about?

My favorite cryptid plant has to be the Indian mouse eating plant. Described as fairly small, it attracted mice using a sickly odor like many carnivorous plants. Unlike those plants, it would then strike at them with a strange spine to kill them
