D. petiolaris vs D. dilatato-petiolaris

does anybody know the difference between the two? doesnt help that many of the photos on CP photofinder are mis-IDed (i found my paradoxa amongst the dilatato-petiolaris photos O.o)

a side-by-side comparison would be nice. :)
thanks!

Drosera dilatatopetiolaris

D. dilatatopetiolaris has broad flat petioles like D. ordensis. D. petiolaris has narrow round petioles like D. paradoxa.
