What are the importance of pitcher plants?

pls. give specific examples

What are the importance of pitcher plants?
Like most carnivorous plants, pitcher plants live in bogs and wetlands. They survive in conditions with little to no ground nutrients by digesting insects or any other proteins that fall into their cups. It's greatest importants to humans is for research as a plant that has special abilities. In nature, it survives conditions that few other plants can and its body later provides nutrition to follower species that need more nutrients.





Although I'm giving an alternative medical site that lists pitcher plant and uses, I would not recommend using it this way. The plants live in a fragile environment and are not common.
Reply:And they grow in very poor soil where other species can't grow - like bogs.
