    It didn't meet the requirement of rule #3. Can't guess the species of the entries. So IMO, it wasn't clearly labeled, since he didn't know exactly what it was he had entered.

    That's bogus. I bet at least 10% of your Drosera are incorrectly labeled. So what if he hasn't identified the species. Can you identify it? Drosera sp. is a perfectly legitimate label in this case. There are plenty of unidentified or unpublished Drosera species in cultivation labeled as Drosera sp. or Drosera sp. xxxx.

    Rule #3 clearly states "All entries must be clearly identified". That is a perfect example of Not. Sorry..

    This isn't about the technicalities of Drosera species and names. It's not that big..
    It's simply a matter of having a general idea of what it is you are entering. If you don't know what it is, then don't enter it.
    I'm not trying to be the bad guy. I'm sorry.. Rule #3.

    D. sp. (Location Data) is perfectly acceptable. I.e.. D. sp. "Carbarup"

    D. sp. I don't know.. maybe this or that.. is not.
