SELECTED READINGS IN DROSERA
Compiled by William "Tamlin" Dawnstar

I have been asked often enough for some pertinent “scientific” literature regarding the genus Drosera.  The following is a very non-academic compilation taken from notes, jottings and the like.  I hope some of it proves useful.  I think I have provided enough information for a competent and sympathetic librarian to assist in acquiring these papers and books.  In the U.S. interlibrary loan is a great research tool, and much can be acquired with a little effort.

Please feel free to amend or correct any errors, and to add to the list if you have further suggested readings.  This is a very fragmentary and partial list, and not inclusive by any stretch of the imagination.  It should keep you busy for a little while at least.

Not included, but highly recommend are the Allen Lowrie books as well.  Rika Erickson’s works on Western Australian CP is also excellent, especially from a historical view.
