Publication: Savage Garden page 66, 1998
Registration Date: The name is not registered with IRA because the standard is missing.
Breeder: Uncertain, but Peter D'Amato is assumed since he wrote about the plant.
Nominant: Peter D'Amato
Registrant: Peter D'Amato
Description:
Quoted from the ICPS database: "these plants produce clumps of rosetted growing points, which result in a mound of densely packed leaves."
Propagation: Vegetative reproduction
Etymology: After growth form
Background: Dionaea muscipula 'Clumping Cultivar' is one of the cultivated varieties that came into existence when an author published a description of a particular plant. In all likelihood, Peter D'Amato wasn't intending to create an official cultivar when he wrote about 'Clumping Cultivar' in his book Savage Garden. The reality is that 'Clumping Cultivar' probably isn't worthy of cultivar status because its description is severely lacking, the standard is missing, and what little description there is definitely falls within the parameters of a typical Venus Fly Trap.
