FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi all. I know I'm usually ID'ing Drosera for others but I'd like some second opinions. I got this plant as a hitchhiker. Initially I thought it was just another D. tokaiensis but as it got larger, it started displaying some characters that distinguished it otherwise. The plant is a semi-adult now, around 4 cm diameter.



The supplier also lists the following plants so it's probably one of these: D. coccicaulus, D. glabripes, D. slackii, D. dielsiana. They've listed other plants in the past so it could be anything really. I've never grown any of these so I'm not sure what they'd look like at an earlier stage of growth.

It's between D. coccicaulus and D. dielsiana to my eye. Slackii has a guitar shaped body.

I'm looking at how far down the petiole the tentacles extend. Comparing it to shots at CPPhotofinder, I think it's closest to Drosera dielsiana. But that's only a S.W.A.G. (Scientiffic Wild *ss Guess)

That's my two cents worth. Try posting it on the ICPS Facebook Page. There are some true Drosera experts lurking there.

Good growing,
Mike
