kisscool_38 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Hello everybody Here are pics of two plants that are supposed to be Genlisea filiformis. But as you can see, their flowers are different, mainly the spurs. Any idea of what they could be? Plant 1: Plant 2: Thanks Edited February 21, 2018 by kisscool_38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) Bonjour Aymeric, The spur is a little pointy, but it still looks like G.filiformis. Does it have location data? A bientot! Fernando Rivadavia Edited January 22, 2009 by Fernando Rivadavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisscool_38 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) Ola Fernando, The first plant (mine) is only located from Brazil. I don't have more precise data. The second (from another french CP grower) don't have any location data. I was told the spur always look like this, very long and pointy. Muito obrigado Edited February 21, 2018 by kisscool_38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi Aymeric, both plants are G. filiformis. This species is very variable. The second plant is the first form that entered cultivation. Formerly it was spreaded falsely under the name G. pallida.

kisscool_38 Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Thanks Markus. You're right, the second plant comes from CZplants so it was formely named Genlisea pallidula.

Fernando Rivadavia Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hmmm, interesting to hear that this strange "false G.pallida" is still looking so strange in cultivation, that it wasn't just a freak plant that was growing strangely in Barry Rice's conditions.... I don't remember if we ever nailed down exactly where that plant came from, although I'm almost sure it was one of my collections.

kisscool_38 Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) That's not my own plant, but I was told by its owner that it have bloomed twice while in its collection, the flowers always looked like that, even if he has changed the substrate and growing conditions between the two bloomings. So yes, it seems a very stable variation. I remember other pics of the same clone, the flowers always look the same, with this long spur.

As far as I know the seeds of this false G. pallida came originally from Allen Lowrie and plants were offered from BCP for the first time.

That's what I meant: it came from me originally, hahaha! I probably sent them to Allen ages ago. Best wishes, Fernando Rivadavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
