Description:
Quoted from the ICPS Newsletter: "The name notes that the marginal teeth on the traps are smaller than normal, and in fact smaller than any other Dionaea cultivar in the Dentate Traps cultivar group (see Figure 4). There than be over 80 teeth in a single trap. The lobes of the tap are orange red."
Propagation: Vegetative reproduction
Etymology: Ater dentate (not ciliate) margin of lamina
Background:On March 28, 2004 Dionaea 'Microdents' was given its cultivar name by Guillaume Bily. Dionaea muscipula 'Microdents', soon to be changed to 'Microdent', is a member of the Dentate Traps cultivar group and is sometimes referred to as “microteeth” or “microdentata”, but these names are not the official cultivar name. The exact spelling of the cultivar epithet is actually French, and was chosen because the plant was selected in France. The plant should be reproduced vegetatively to maintain its unique characters.
