Crocodile is named for its traps that resemble an open crocodile's mouth! It very uniquely grows a leaf-base that is fused directly to the trap, and is missing a petiole. Quite the freaky cultivar! Also, Crocodile is an extremely vigorous and hardy plant, with its "scary" Croc traps.
Crocodile was selected and named by Italian Dionaea grower Melly in 2008. Melly chose the name because the shape of the forming traps looked like a crocodile to her.
