VAMPIRE VINE / DEVIL’S SNARE

Carnivorous plant that sucks blood. a network of rope-like roots and fibers.  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.”
