Scientists have confirmed a long-held theory by Charles Darwin about certain plant species. Darwin suspected that some plants in the Saxifraga genus might be carnivorous due to their sticky "hairs". These hairlike structures, called glandular trichomes, produce a sticky substance and are similar to those found in known carnivorous plants.

For a plant to be considered carnivorous, it must be able to lure, trap, and consume insects. Further details about the study that proved Darwin's theory can be found through KVIA ABC-7's source, which includes information about the research published in the journal Nature Communications.
