Elysia chlorotica

Just thought this was interesting enough to post. I should probably clarify that this is not actually a plant taxonomically, but rather an animal that has gained "plant-like characteristics" - namely, the ability to produce chlorophyll and thustly the ability to survive on sunlight rather than food.

I suppose the rat eating plant qualifies.

It's called the Nepenthes attenboroughii, named after David Attenborough.
