Hello. I purchased seeds from eBay a few months ago. They were sold as "Drosera Spatulata var. lovellae". I post a picture here, all of them germinated from the same package, same time. Notice the one in the middle looks a bit different, or at least this is what I see.
Now, here is the middle one in better quality:
and finally the 3rd picture shows one of those red seedlings:
What do you think about that middle one? Is that a Tokaiensis? Any suggestions appreciated.

I am not to sure, although the possibility of the middle plant being a D. tokaiensis is very improbable (but not impossible). I cannot tell 100% for sure; unfortunately I'm no Drosera geneticist, although I do sequence genomes of bacteria. Best of luck!

I think that ones a spatulata too. Tokaeinsis have longer skinnier petioles but I'm having the same problem identifying mine!

I'm not so sure, even the seeds I collected from that one looks bigger than spatulata seeds. I tend to believe it's a tokaiensis. The spatulata seeds are tiny black dots, and the one I collected are a little bit bigger, more like tokaiensis seeds.

I don't think its tokaiensis, the petioles are too "fat". it doesn't look like spathulata either....maybe a hybrid? or this lovellae form
