Mark, do you want to go first?M: Sure. Today, I want to talk about an insect-eating plant called a pitcher plant. Listening textListen to Mark (M), Gordon (G) and Andrea (A) telling their class and their teacher (TH) about some plants.Heres a photo of it. Look at this part here. Its shaped like a pitcher. Its actually a leaf even though it looks like a flower. Its really clever-the insects are attracted by the sweet smell coming from what they think is a flower. But its a trap. Once an insect goes down into the pitcher, it cant get out as there are small hard hairs pointing downwards that prevent it from escaping. In the end, the insect falls down into a pool of liquid at the bottom of the pitcher and gets digested by the plant.S1:S1: Thatsamazing!hatsamazing!S2:S2: Whatfantasticplants!hatfantasticplants!TH:TH: Gordon.Gordon.G:G: ThesearetheplantsImgoingThesearetheplantsImgoingtotalkabout.Theyreoftentotalkabout.Theyreoftencalled“livingstones”,butcalled“livingstones”,buteventhoughtheydolookabiteventhoughtheydolookabitlikestones,theyareinfactlikestones,theyareinfactplants.plants.S3:S3: Wow!Wow!S4:S4: Howinterestingowinteresting!G:G: TheirscientificnameisTheirscientificnameisLithopsandtheycomefromLithopsandtheycomefromSouthAfricSouthAfricaandNambia.TheandNambia.Thebodyofalithopsisactuallyabodyofalithopsisactuallyapairofleavesthathavebecomepairofleavesthathavebecomeroundedlikeastone.Thisisroundedlikeastone.Thisisbecausethisplantlivesinbecausethisplantlivesinveryvery hotanddryplaces.Whentheleaveshotanddryplaces.Whentheleavesareshapedlikethis,areshapedlikethis,notmuchmuchwaterislostfromtheplant.waterislostfromtheplant.AnotherinterestingthingaboutAnotherinterestingthingaboutthesestrangeplantsisthatthesestrangeplantsisthattheyrethesamecoloutheyrethesamecolourandandappearanceofthesoilandstonesappearanceofthesoilandstonesaroundit.Thismakesthemlessaroundit.Thismakesthemlessobvioustoanimallookingobvioustoanimallookingforfood.orfood.TH:TH: Thanks,Gordon.Andrea.Thanks,Gordon.Andrea.A:A: ImgoingtotellyouaboutImgoingtotellyouaboutRafflesiaarnoldii,aplantthatRafflesiaarnoldii,aplantthathasafloweraboutonemetrehasafloweraboutonemetrewide.Infact,itsthelargestwide.Infact,itsthelargestflowerintheworld.Rafflesiaflowerintheworld.Rafflesiaarnoldiidoesnthaveanyarnoldiidoesnthaveanyleaves,stemsorroots.Itleaves,stemsorroots.Itdoesntneedthemasitsadoesntneedthemasitsaparasite.Itgetsparasite.Itgetsthisfoodbyfoodbylivingonanotherplant.livingonanotherplant.YouYou mightthinkthatthismightthinkthatthisflowershouldsmellwonderfulflowershouldsmellwonderfulbutitactuallylooksandbutitactuallylooksandsmellslikerottingmeat!smellslikerottingmeat!S2:S2: Oh,yuck!Oh,yuck!S1:S1: Thatsdisgusting!Thatsdisgusting!S3:S3: IthinkitsfantasIthinkitsfantastic!ic!A:A: Metoo.Anyway,itaMetoo.Anyway,itattractsactsinsectsthateatdeadanimalsinsectsthateatdeadanimalsbutinsteadofgettingafeed,butinsteadofgettingafeed,theinsectspickupitspollentheinsectspickupitspollenandspreadittootherandspreadittootherRafflesias,Rafflesias,RafflesiaarnoldiiafflesiaarnoldiigrowsinthejunglesingrowsinthejunglesinIndonesiabutastheforestsareIndonesiabutastheforestsarebeingbeingcutdown,itsbecomingutdown,itsbecomingveryrare.veryrare.TH: Thanks Andrea and thanks everyone.
