Fernando Rivadavia Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hello to all, Does anybody know if Aldrovanda from the Okavango Delta, Botswana, is presently in cultivation (or was in the past)?

Markus Berg Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hi, Valentin has a A.vesiculosa "Dark red subtropical Clone" {Okawango swamp; Botswana; Africa} on his growlist: http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/viewtopic.p...hlight=growlist Maybe you should contact him.

Fernando Rivadavia Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hello Markus! Thanks for the reply! It appears the Czechs sell this form. So now I have a different question: does anybody know who was responsible for the introduction of this form to cultivation? Does anybody have info on the ecology of Aldrovanda in the Okavango? Best Wishes, Fernando Rivadavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcobbold Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Fernando, You could try contacting the Biology department at the University of Botswana. When I was in Botswana (1989-1995) they had an extensive herbarium of local plants. Whether this includes aldrovanda I don't know, but it's worth a try. David C.

Alexander Nijman Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Maybe Aldrovanda grows in those channels and pools made by Hippothamus and in this way survives the dry season in the Okavango. Regards, Alexander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
