Guest Sheila Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 They look like young D. ascendens to me. They are sold over here as D. villosa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fischermans Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hello Sheila The plants are more than a year old so they are not young. Any other ideas. Thanks Alexander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hi, do you also have location data for your plants, Alexander? Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-Rah Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 The plants are more than a year old so they are not young. I have found D. ascendens phenomenally slow-growing. Leaf cuttings I took over three years ago are still not mature plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas Fleischmann Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Drosera ascendens! ;) Except Antoine Saint-Hilaire and Fernando, I doubt that many people have already seen the "real" D. villosa in the wild (or even collected seed of it!) Most (All?) plants in cultivation labelled as "D. villosa" are indeed D. ascendens, unless they had been collected from the mountain range of Serra da Ibitipoca (from which St-Hilaire collected the type specimens of 2 CPs, i.e. D. villosa and Genlisea violacea). All the best, Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 This is what i grew from seeds Labelled as Drosera Villosa Serra da Ibitipoca It seems to have a new plantlet growing next to it . Any ideas is this the genuine Villosa ? Regards Belinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hello everyone, Andreas is correct. Unless your plants are labelled D.villosa "Serra de Ibitipoca", you probably have D.ascendens. Belinda, your plant looks like the real thing! Look at the long narrow petioles hairy on both sides... Best Wishes, Fernando Rivadavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
