Catopsis berteroniana/kəˈtɒpsɪsˌbɜːrtəˌroʊniˈɑːnə/, commonly known as the powdery strap airplant or the lantern of the forest,[1] is an epiphytic bromeliad thought to be a possible carnivorous plant[citation needed], similar to Brocchinia reducta, although the evidence is equivocal. Its native range is from southern Florida to southern Brazil.[2] It generally grows on the unshaded twigs of trees, and has been shown experimentally to trap more insects in its tank than other bromeliads of comparable size.[3] There are several other species in the genus, none of which is believed to be carnivorous.
