Belinda 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2005 Hi Decided to explore the area of rodriguez pass today .its near Blackheath in the Blue mtns. A couple of pics showing the area of rodriguez pass . Peltata where extremely common here particularly in white sand . Check out these for healthy dewy rosettes A nice Spaulata Okay Sean hopefully -A burmannii - ps you could tell a fib -a white lie maybe In our Adventures so far ( if you can call them that :) ) Ive never found a place with so many peltata rosettes -Literally thousands in the white sand areas - can't wait to go back when they are in full flight -will make some fantastic photos . This area was so rugged we decided to use our gps and plot the 4wd 's position . Luckilly we did geez it would be easy to get lost in the bottom of the gorge . regards Belinda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Belinda 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2005 No I actually think its a spatualata - Im just hoping i maybe wrong .. Im new to Cps and am trying to find as many new species as possible . My identification abilties could be described as dodgy at best .LOL regards Belinda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicolas de Lyon 1 Report post Posted April 24, 2005 Indeed, burmanni is easyly reconizable, look at this : http://www.n.ethz.ch/student/lureiter/foto...d_burmanii.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean Spence 25 Report post Posted April 24, 2005 As the other guys have said- not a D. burmannii. That's OK though as it gives you a good reason to keep getting out there and searching. If you are really desperate to find D. burmannii I can find out some locations for you to visit. Just have to contact a friend who is an expert on Sydney CPs. BTW, I love that shot of the patch of D. spatulata, beautifully dewy. This is probably the best time of the year to find such immaculate looking plants.

Nicolas de Lyon 1 Report post Posted April 24, 2005 BZW, could anybody confirm the correct spelling of burmanni ? Bacause we can read : burmannii, burmanii, burmanni... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2005 Drosera burmannii Here's one I grow from Australia http://www.pbase.com/beekeeper/image/27402365 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JanW 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2005 ICPS database says D. burmannii which would be correct latin grammar for the species. But it was described as D. burmanni and because of that its the real name. Just the same occurs with Aldrovanda which would be correctly spelled as Aldrovandia. Just waiting for Andreas Fleischmann to drop in... ;) Jan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belinda 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2005 Gang I was trying to be funny - A bit of light hearted humour .. It was never meant to be taken seriously - of course i know its not a Burmannii. I was just trying to have a joke with Sean . Sorry if i made myself look stupid . NO More humour i promise... Serious from now on . sort of anyhow regards Belinda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean Spence 25 Report post Posted April 24, 2005 That's the problem with forums sometimes, very difficult to detect sarcasm and joking around. The 5 consecutive smilies should have given us a clue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
