It is characterised by highly irregular, almost bell-shaped traps that frequently orient downwards. The lobes exhibit a deformed, uneven surface, contributing to its markedly aberrant and mutant-like appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"366\" data-end=\"920\"\u003eThe cultivar’s name draws inspiration from the creature featured in the \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eAlien\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e franchise, a comparison that is strongly reflected in its morphology. The marginal cilia (teeth) are irregular in form—some elongated, others partially fused or serrated—creating a claw-like structure reminiscent of grasping appendages. The elongated, slender petioles further reinforce this resemblance, evoking a tail-like form. Along the outer dorsal surface of the trap, subtle rippling adds to its unusual and somewhat grotesque aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"922\" data-end=\"1216\"\u003eFloral development in this cultivar is also atypical, with flowers lacking petals—an uncommon mutation within \u003cem data-start=\"1032\" data-end=\"1041\"\u003eDionaea\u003c\/em\u003e. The plant maintains a consistent bright green coloration throughout, including its long, thin, upright petioles, which enhances its striking and unconventional presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1239\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1239\"\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1602\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"zm9gwn\" data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1303\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1242\" data-end=\"1253\"\u003eHybrid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Selected by Diflora, derived from ‘Cross Teeth’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1u6msfu\" data-start=\"1304\" data-end=\"1393\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1306\" data-end=\"1316\"\u003eTraps:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bell-shaped, frequently downward-facing, with irregular and deformed lobes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1j0qqte\" data-start=\"1394\" data-end=\"1485\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1406\"\u003eTeeth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Variable in structure—elongated, fused, or serrated; claw-like in appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"92zaw8\" data-start=\"1486\" data-end=\"1549\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1488\" data-end=\"1501\"\u003ePetioles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright green, slender, elongated, and upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1f632vj\" data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"1602\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1552\" data-end=\"1568\"\u003eColouration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uniform bright green throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nano Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Gel Cup (1+ Plants)","offer_id":46297759318153,"sku":"DION-5879-GE","price":250.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/9623\/4377\/files\/Dionaea_Facehugger_Zoom.png?v=1777794087","url":"https:\/\/www.nanonursery.com.au\/products\/dionaea-muscipula-face-hugger-venus-flytrap","provider":"Nano Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
