Fernando Rivadavia Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Hello everyone, I'm proud to announce that I've just published, together with my good friend Paulo Gonella, a new species of sundew from Brazil, D.quartzicola. See a summary here: http://www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/content/2011/f/p00029p040f.pdf This new species is endemic to the Serra do Cipó, Minas Gerais, and is extremely rare, known from only 4 small populations. Previously known as D.sp."Cipó", D.quartzicola seems to be most closely related to D.chrysolepis, with which it even forms hybrids. The name refers to the habitat it is restricted to, white quartz gravel, similar to D.schwackei further north. If anyone wants a copy of the full article, please send me a private message with your e-mail address. Best wishes, Fernando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadly Weapon Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Pics in here if this species was called Drosera sp. Cipo http://cpphotofinder.com/drosera-cipo-3477.html A very beautiful species. Hopefully this will soon become more common in collections.

Daniel O. Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Indeed a very nice hybrid. Most i like the last picture where it´s growing next to D. chrysolepis. So the seed of this hybrid is viable? Best regards, Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
