Is the name D. Capensis 'Alba' even a valid name? From my quick internet research, it appears that its not a registered cultivar. The problem is that pretty much all the plants I have seen are named this seemingly invalid name.
The only white form cultivar is Drosera 'albino', which is described as completely lacking anthocyanins, but don't all white plants develop pink tentacles under intense lighting? In that case, the cultivar description http://www.carnivorousplants.org/cpdb/C ... _id=173581 would be incorrect.
So here's the question, what are you meant to label a white Drosera capensis?
