Hi all happy new year!

I'm wondering if you can identify these seedlings, because I showed a lot of drosera binata (mixed clones and Coromamdel) seeds in September last year but none of them have started growing forked leaves?

I bought them from Triffid Nurseries, so they are genuine seeds.

Any help would be appreciated.

It is hard to tell when they are that small but they could be spatulata.

The problem is that, when they're this small, many dews look alike. Could be spatulata, capillaris, tokaiensis, even capensis. But I'm not thinking binata. They would at least show some points where forks would be, and there usually isn't that many leaves.
My binata seedlings all went dormant except for this guy. He's only about 1.5 to 2 millimeters wide, but showing the beginnings of forks.

Hit us with another pic once they grow out a bit.

One picture won't load for me for whatever reason, but the one in the attachments box is definitely not binata. Binata makes pretty distinct leaves, even at a young age.

I agree with the above. Binata leaves start off round, become Diamond shaped, then become forked. Doesn't look like binata to me either. Maybe time will tell.

Thanks for the help. However the seed packets had "Drosera binata mixed clones" written on it, so I will have to email the nursery.

Hi ChefDean.

The seedlings are big enough to be seen with the naked eye so I don't know how long to wait until the leaves start to 'fork'.

I said the seedlings would still have points, where the forks would be. Look at the pic I posted and it shows you what a binata seedling looks like. That leaf is the first or second carnivorous leaf, so they'll show signs of wanting to fork right away. Yours are well beyond that, definitely not binata.
However, another member said it better when they said the seedling leaves are diamond shaped, not round.

Hi Panman, I dont think these are Binatas, but I'm still unsure which species the seedlings are. Its been a few months now since I last posted.

Can you give me some clues as I am attaching some more photos of the separated plants?

Cheers.

Definitely not binatas. It looks a bit like capensis. Did you have any capensis flowering in the vicinity of this pot?

Those look just about exactly like the capensis I've currently got growing at that same stage. Over the next few weeks you'll start seeing them put out their characteristically long leaves.

No. The seeds were sown by me a few months ago and I cannot remember what the nursery labelled them as (silly me throwing the packet away). I also cut the flower stalk off my Capensis 'Alba' before any flowers opened.

Do Capensis 'Alba' seedlings have red tentacles, I thought they remained white?

I vaguely remember sowing some drosera Madagascariensis seeds in that pot so it could be those.

Alba seedlings remain white. It could be madagascariensis. Only time will tell.
