We have some in the seed bank, D. intermedia "Roraima Venezuela". However, I just found out through some research that it may be mislabeled. It's still from South America, but believed to be from Roraima state in Brazil.

I saw Chef using SA as 'South american'. I've been questioned a lot for abbreviations.

How does one differentiate South Am from South Africa, both high drosera regions?

The dutch name for south africa is Zuid-Afrika. Thus, the abbreviation ZA can be used.
South America is... Well... South America, Thus, I consider the letters SA to be valid.

Taking into account the context of the question, specifically asking about South American sundew seeds, it can logically be understood that the abbreviation would, in this case, definitely mean South American, not South African.

Yeah. I understand. I say "Selling ZA dews " tho and get a ton of "what?". And lots of growers follow the same abbreviation names. I just wanted to put it out there and saw an opportunity :lol:
