SPEEDY MOTION. “Some active carnivorous plants have evolved traps that can move faster as theoretically possible due to pure hydraulics. A well-known example for this phenomenon is the snap-trap of the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula, Droseraceae), which performs a combination of stimulus-triggered, active hydraulic motion followed by a passive release of elastic energy stored in the trap lobes.”
