Glands = "tentacles". Lamina is more like the leaf blade (where the majority of the glands are in most Drosera species) and petiole is the leaf stalk. In some Drosera the lamina are quite obvious (e.g. rotundifolia, macrantha, petiolaris), while the transition from petiole to lamina on the leaves of other species is much less noticeable or not present at all (e.g. hilaris, cistiflora, magna).

I was halfway thinking that tok was a possibility, but I didn't know the differentiation between them and spats. However, looking at the stock tok pic and my spat pic, I can definitely see the little differences.

For sure. And the fact that there are many other unique spatulata-type plants from that general area certainly doesn’t make it the topic any less confusing. https://www.fierceflora.com/drosera-spa ... and-macau/

Then don't muddy my waters with the taxa by degrees. I'll stick with referring back to these pics for a 97.4% certainty between spat and tok.

So we are not as sure as I thought we were yesterday? I’ll post again as the plant grows and see what we think next time.

If Nepenthes0260 says he's fairly certain it's a tokaiensis, then you can be assured that it's accurate. As with any species of plants, there will be variations due to local environments, that's what he was referring to.
You have a tokaiensis.

Thanks

Yes, tok still would be my guess.
