Drosera sp Megaliesburg

[RICHARD UK]

I have had this plant in my collection for a few years now. I recently saw a plant called D. Nidiformis. The plants were identical in size, gland colouration and leaf shape. I was just wondering if the plant had had its name changed.

Yes. It's named Drosera nidiformis now.

Aahh, that explains it then. Thanks!

I have a nidiformis...I like it a lot. However it did have a bout of that fungus mentioned on the carnivorousplant.org page. Thankfully it has recovered and proven to be a fast grower. But it does seem to have a reputation for being difficult to grow.
