Common Name: Anemonid
Na'vi Name: Fngapsutxwll, or "metal-following plant."
Taxonomy: Pennanemone ciliare, or "leafy anemonoid" and "hairy"
Botanical Description: Large forest herb with flattened top that resembles the sea anemonoid and has hairlike leaves. Flat, platelike surface is covered with digestive enzymes for trapping insects.
Ecology: The anemonid is largely carnivorous, trapping insects on his flattened, sticky top surface. It is unique among Pandoran plants in that it absorbs small amount of unobtanium from the soil.
Ethnobotany: Botanical oddity. No known use on Pandora but is being studied for possible export to Earth for use in cleaning polluted soil.
