The International Carnivorous Plant Society (ICPS) is an organization of horticulturists, conservationists, scientists, and educators all interested in sharing knowledge and news of carnivorous plants. Since its founding the Society has been an integral part of the carnivorous plant world.

 The ICPS is best known for its color professional quality journal, Carnivorous Plant Newsletter. But there are many more reasons that membership in the Society is so exciting.  

The Society is a registered US IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and is the International Cultivar Registration Authority (ICRA) for cultivated carnivorous plant names.
