Databank Entry
The ragged pitcher plant is the only known species of predatory underwater plant on 4546B. It grows on mineral rich hydrothermal deposits.
The bowl shaped ‘pitcher’ produces a concentrated brine that pools inside due to its high density. When small organisms get too close they are stunned, causing them to sink into the pitcher where they are dissolved and absorbed by the plant.

Trivia
Despite its Databank Entry stating the Ragged Pitcher Plant has a predatory lifestyle, it does not show any predatory behavior in-game.
The Databank Entry also suggests that the Ragged Pitcher Plant is the only predatory flora found underwater on Planet 4546B. However, the Jade Membrane is also suggested to be predatory flora species by its Databank Entry.
