<BLOCKQUOTE>"(...)The plants varied greatly in trap bar (cilia on leaf margin) size and shape, but one plant in particular was just what I wanted. Because it is red and has trap bars that look like piranha teeth, I named it [Dionaea ' Red Piranha ' {E.Read}]. As with other red Venus Flytraps the intensity of red coloration varies according to cultivation and season. It has been noted by growers who cultivate it next to other popular red Venus Flytraps that its red coloration equals, if not supercedes, their red color." </BLOCKQUOTE>

Description:

Groupe: Dentate traps group

La plante diffère fortement de la plante type par la dentition, les dents sont courtes, triangulaires, parfois avec cuspides secondaires, à la façon de la dionaea 'Shark's teeth'.
Sa coloration rouge est intense mais varie selon les saisons, il a été observé par des collectionneurs qui la cultivent en compagnie d'autres Dionées de forme rouge que sa couleur égale voir même dépasse celle des autres cultivars.

Reproduction: Vegetative uniquement
