Book with female explorer on an alien planet, seduced by pitcher-plant and almost eaten
I am trying to remember a book with a female explorer who I think was the captain of an expedition to an alien planet. There, while exploring some alien ruins, she comes across a weird looking pitcher plant that, unbeknownst to her, emits strong sexual pheromones in order to attract prey.
Being seduced by the plant, she falls in its trap thinking she's having incredible sex. Luckily, another member of the team, who was immune for some reason (cold? allergies? mask?) rescues her just in time before she's consumed by the plant.
Despite the hentai-like scene, the rest of the story was quite serious, bordering on sombre actually. It was probably part of a longer series of books written in English from the early 2000s.

There are elements of your description which sound very like "Venom of Argos" by Richard Avery, pseudonym of Edmund Cooper. But they were written in the 70s and only a 4 book series. goodreads.com/book/show/13530492-the-venom-of-argus

Thanks, it's a good match but there are many differences as well besides the publication year (I'm sure it's after 2K): I clearly remember the captain was female and she was the one who fell in the trap. Also they were in the alien planet in some sort of scientific expedition checking the ruins, not on holidays. Again, thanks though :)
