Genlisea locations?


Cephalotus

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I would like to show you some funny thing. Go to this link:

http://www.thecarnivorousplantsociety.org/cpsseedbank3.html

and look there for Genlisea locations, and go to this link:

http://home.sdirekt-net.de/mwelge5/arten/genl_tab.htm

Tell me what do you see? Because now I just do not know where which Genlisea grows. :)

I see a list of the countries in which the different species of Genlisea grow. Both lists look very similar to me- one is just a little more detailed. Why do you find this strange?

There is nothing at all wrong with your site Mathias. It is very nicely done. I think Motty is getting confused because the CPS site labels the species and then a generalisation of the area in wich in can be found, eg. Southern tropical africa, where your site actually gives an exact location eg. kenia.

Hello Matthis,

your site is done verry good, I don have any problems with it. I would like to tell you that I contacted with one person from burundi, and he asked for G. subglabra in Burundi university, and they gave him a list with carnivorous plants in Burundi. I must tell you, that there was just G. hipsida. :/ And about what the diference are betreen your site ant that anouther.

On this site is sow(just a part):

Key = Brazil( B )

G.subglabra G.taylorii G.uncinata( B )

And on your site is that:

G. subglabra, G. taylorii -Burundi, Malawi, Tansania, Zaire, Sambia and G. uncinata -Brasilien.

Look on that, there are diferent countrys here, and I would like to know who is right? You Matthis or that other person? But I tell you, that I get know, that in Burundi was found just G. hipsida, but i would like to find tehre alsow that two other.

Here you have a part of letter I get from my friend from Burundi:

"Please " I am sure " says the assistant that Genlisea (hispida) exist here in Burundi and It has been taken by a belgian who's name is José LEWALLE université de Ličge and université du Burundi

He wrote " " végétation du Burundi occidental" you can look for the book at the university of ličge (Belgum)"

To all,

It is very difficult to keep any such information constantly updates with all the recent literature and collections. For example G.filiformis was recently collected in S Mexico, extending the range of this species (and genus!) into N America.

So it is very difficult to have such a site 100% correct and one must often consult various pages, such as the CP Database put up by Jan Schaluer, which is also very comprehensive.

Congrats Matthias and all!
