Butterwort
\But"ter*wort`\, n. (Bot.)
A genus of low herbs (
Pinguicula) having simple leaves
which secrete from their glandular upper surface a viscid
fluid, to which insects adhere, after which the margin
infolds and the insects are digested by the plant. The
species are found mostly in the North Temperate zone.
