Brocchinia is a genus of plant belonging to thefamilyBromeliaceae. It is endemic to southern Venezuela and Guyana. In particular, they live in Venezuelan plateaus called Tepui, 1000 to 2000 meters above sea level. They have modified leaves, fused to form a sort of amphora. The leaves fill with abundant rain and act as a trap for insects that fall inside. Brocchinia reducta is considered a carnivorous plant as it is able to assimilate nutrients from insects that have fallen into the well full of water that it creates between its leaves
