<span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>The wonderful diagnostic of seed testa. I like it. Thanks Tamlin for suggesting the possibilities. Now please get that reference publlished. Yaahhh.</span>
They're getting harder and harder, hee hee. I go with Ms. Thistle's determination. I got the point, ha ha.
I can picture Pinguiculaman standing there with a "P" on his chest in some wild green spandex outfit with a cape, and magnifying beams coming out of his eyes.
<span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>What I really think is nice about these microphotos is that they were all made with a childs toy, called the "Digital Blue QX3+" created by cooperation between Intel and Mattel. Sold online at Toys R Us for about $50.
Sorry if this sounds like a commercial. I am just sharing something I think is a nice tool for a nice price.
The first one is vft seeds of corse , the second one looks like drosophyllum or ibicella lutea . the last picture look like they belong to temperate and american sundews .
<span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>Here is a new one. Is no one going to see if they can specifically idenfity 1-5? Goldtrap was close on some of them.
Below is another one at 200x. This one I will offer some hints on. It was discovered in my lifetime and it is a very tropical plant.
<span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>Yes, Christian; my guess is that the first one of the last group is Drosera burmannii and the second is Drosera rotundifolia as you guessed. I know your second one had a longer endosperm than does my Drosera rotundifolia, perhaps it is Drosera anglica? I haven't looked at very many different seed yet. Just got the microscope. I will keep looking and taking photos. If I have any in my collection, I should eventually be able to find some.</span>
