piscesilim Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Both of these names refer to the same plant? D. x badgerupii is the formal name for D. "Lake Badgerup"? Any paper to refer? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel van den Broek Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Ian, the old name was basically just a location used as a trading name, while the new name follows the correct rules for naming this natural hybrid if you don't want to use the formal Drosera patens x occidentalis.
