Venus flytrap origins uncovered


Recommended Posts

From the BBC news website:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/...000/8151644.stm

I particularly like this part:

A DNA analysis by Ken Cameron of the University of Wisconsin confirmed that the Venus flytrap and waterwheel are indeed related, and the closest relative of both turns out to be a species called Drosera regia.

This would go some way to explaining the stories of Drosera regia and VFT crosses being produced.

Cheers,
