Translation: [Dionaea 'Purse' {K.Kondo}]

Description: Quoted from the ICPS database: "[Dionaea 'Kinchyaku' {K.Kondo}] (means purse), which has imperfect trap closure but somewhat quite similar to [Drosera {L.}] trap movement, was produced by Katsuhiko Kondo using a gene engineering in vitro condition in 1999 and is now under mass propagation."

Propagation: Vegetative reproduction

Etymology: After the trap shape

Background: Sorry, but there is little information on the web about Dionaea 'Kinchyaku' and I can't find much information about it in any literature that I have. I would like to get a hold of the Proceedings of the 4th International Carnivorous Plant Society Conference to have a peek at the information in there and possibly see a photo of this cultivar. At the time I am writing this, I can't even find a photo of 'Kinchyaku' on the web.
