Triantha occidentalis, the western false asphodel, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Triantha. Triantha occidentalis was described by R. R. Gates in 1918. The carnivorous behavior of the plant was discovered in 2021 by a group of scientists from the University of British Columbia and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Triantha occidentalis is a carnivorous plant: the stem is covered in a sticky substance, and has tiny hairs that produce a digestive enzyme called phosphatase. The sticky substance is able to trap small insects, which are digested by the enzyme from the hairs, allowing the plant to absorb their nutrients. Of note is that the sticky stem is only able to entrap smaller insects, such as midges, and does not affect larger insects like bees or butterflies that may play a role in pollination. The plant is considered to be unique in this method of carnivory.
