Zlatokrt Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hello, i have recieved this plant as G. roraimensis last year. The first flower opened and i am now in doubts of its ID. The scape is hairy, which is good, it is not G. repens. But the flower spur looks too pointy to my eyes, G. roraimensis should have more obtuse spur, am i right? Anyway, please check the photos. Opinions welcomed. Thanks Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Right now the definition of "pygmaea" is very fuzzy... All your questions will be answered when Andreas Fleischmann publishes his Genlisea monograph (hopefully soon). :) Fernando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlatokrt Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Thanks Fernando! How soon is soon? I would like to publish an article about genome size of Lentibulariaceae and just coincidentally this plant possess the smallest genome we found, so it would be nice to have a name for it...

Fernando Rivadavia Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Ah, very interesting news, so you are working on this as well, huh? Seems there's a bunch of groups doing so, I can't wait to see all the results! Do you have Andreas' email address? If not, I can give it to you so you can ask him. I'll see if he's available to reply here... Fernando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlatokrt Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Thanks for your answers. I have heard of some other groups making similar research. I only hope, that the results will be compatible :-) About the email to Andreas - yes, i know his email address, thanks for asking. Regards Adam BTW: a completely off topic question, but you might know it: how often is malaria in Brazil? While visiting CP habitats to be precise...

Fernando Rivadavia Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Malaria is only a problem in northern Amazonian areas of the country, whereas most CP habitats are in cooler highland areas further south. Can't wait to see your genome work! :) Fernando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlatokrt Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Ok. I have got the monograph in my hands from today (for two hours now to be exact). Now it seems i am a proud owner of Genlisea nigrocaulis, a species very widespread in cultivation. But it also seems, that what i considered as G. pygmaea is G. nigrocaulis too. On the other hand, i have grown G. filiformis in the past, have been told it is not G. filiformis, but rather some sort of weird G. pygmaea or G. aurea and according the book it is all wrong, i have grown the real thing. Pity i havent stored any seeds from it. At least G. repens is still G. repens. Andreas, i hoped your work will make some sense into this mess and i will have an easier work with the genomes! Just kidding The book is great, but i need to digest all the news and to familiarize with the bunch of the new information. I am starting to write a nice want list of the new species EDIT: after more detailed reading i think i have really grown G. pygmaea, not G. filiformis. EDIT2: I have stored some seeds of G. pygmaea! They were just hiding very well... Edited February 16, 2013 by Zlatokrt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Genlisea nigr*o*caulis. ;) I can't wait to get my copy of the book!!!!!!!!!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlatokrt Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Thanks... mistyped character :-) Yup, the book is great. The more i read it, the more i get interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
