VAMPIRE VINE / DEVIL’S SNARE
Carnivorous plant that sucks blood. a network of rope-like roots and
fibers. These
fibers were of a dark, nearly black hue, and were covered with a thick gum that
seemed to exude from some sort of pores. This gum was reportedly extremely
adhesive and had a foul, animal odor. grasping vines had left the skin of his
hands red and blistered. He also noticed to his amazement that the dog was
bloodstained and covered in spots that seemed puckered as if they had been
sucked. “The plant’s power of suction is contained within a number of
infinitesimal mouths or little suckers, which, ordinarily closed, open for the
reception of food. If the substance is animal, the blood is drawn off and the
carcass or refuse then dropped. A lump of raw meat being thrown to it, in the
short space of five minutes the blood will be thoroughly drunk off and the mass
thrown aside. Its voracity is almost beyond belief.”
