sundewmatt Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 OK, so anyone who wants to read Taton's paper on the Drosera of Belgian Congo ( Drosera insolita, bequaertii, katangensis, congolana ) can check it out here: http://www.sundewgrower.com/papers/nouveaux1/taton1.pdf http://www.sundewgrower.com/papers/nouveaux1/taton2.pdf http://www.sundewgrower.com/papers/nouveaux1/taton3.pdf http://www.sundewgrower.com/papers/nouveaux1/taton4.pdf http://www.sundewgrower.com/papers/nouveaux1/taton5.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelljuhg Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I have got Makoto Miyamoto's permission to upload his pics on line, and here are some of the Drosera pics that he took in the habitat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fleischmann Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Thank you for posting photos of the flowers! Now I can say that this mysterious Drosera indeed IS related to D. madagascariensis! The flowers are very similar to those of the bigger forms of D. madagascariensis, even if the vegetative parts of that Drosera are totally different. And it's not D. pilosa, you were right, Matt! ;) All the best, Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Coooool!!! Larger flowers than I expected! What does the base of the scape look like? Is it ascending or erect? Best Wishes, Fernando Rivadavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelljuhg Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Now I can say that this mysterious Drosera indeed IS related to D. madagascariensis!The flowers are very similar to those of the bigger forms of D. madagascariensis, even if the vegetative parts of that Drosera are totally different. Yes, that is what first came into my thought, and I have to note that this species has virtical pistils while D. madagascariensis complex have those almost horizontal. Can this happen within a group of closely-related species? What does the base of the scape look like? Is it ascending or erect? Well, I have uploaded the pics that show how it looks: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Wow, thanks for the amazing pics! What long & robust scapes for such small rosettes! The base looks like it's slightly ascending... Is this plant still in cultivation in Japan (or elsewhere)?

Fernando Rivadavia Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Did yu ask Miyamoto-san if the clones he brought are still in cultivation somewhere? Fernando Rivadavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanW Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Interesting plant. Reads like a criminal story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelljuhg Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Did yu ask Miyamoto-san if the clones he brought are still in cultivation somewhere?Fernando Rivadavia I hear that, by 1999, the plants in cultivation had already been lost except for one, so I feel that now it is too difficult to find any cultivated plants of the species.

Christian Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hi all, while browsing the forum for pictures for the G.F.P. calendar i cam across this old topic. I now wonder if there is anything new regarding that plant. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
