Putting it up would be a good way to find out!If anybody's interested I could put some U. sandersonii or bisquamata up.
Specimens Examined (D.spiralis):—BRAZIL. Minas Gerais: Município de Botumirim, Rio do Peixe, 10 February 2011, Gonella et al. 372 (SPF), 06 September 2011, Gonella et al. 477 (SPF), 06 September 2011, Rivadavia 2704 (SPF)
Drosera graminifolia and D. spiralis clearly represent morphologically and ecologically distinct taxa (Table 1), as well as being geographically isolated (Fig. 1) from each other, thus supporting the specific rank. Although the leaf shape of both species is superficially very similar, D. spiralis has several distinguishing characteristics such as the absence of TSG trichomes, the presence of a dense indumentum of glandular capitate trichomes (Fig. 4F), shorter eglandular hairs, tentacle-like emergences often present on sepals (Figs. 4G, 5E), reduced petioles that are usually shorter than (or as long as) the stipules (Fig. 5G), and smaller ovoid seeds (Fig. 4H).
Another character distinguishing D. graminifolia and D. spiralis is the mode by which young leaves unfurl from the center of the rosettes. In D. graminifolia young leaves are perfectly circular and circinate, unrolling like fern fronds (Fig. 3D), whereas in D. spiralis they are irregularly circinate, rolled up in a variety of angles and shapes, forming an ellipse bud in outline (Fig. 5F). This difference in leaf development may be merely a result of the more voluminous leaves of D. spiralis, which has petioles that are semicircular to transversely elliptic in cross section (versus very narrowly transversely elliptic in the flatter leaves of D. graminifolia).
Definition: translucent-yellow short-stalked multicellular globose (“TSG”) trichomes 0.1–0.12 mm in diameter
Any interest in North American native fish such as Darters? I can come up with some Tesselated Darters, Etheostoma olmstedi on a day's notice. But it requires wading in 50 F water, and I don't have waders, so if you're not interested I'd rather not! And I MIGHT be able to come up with a few Gulf Coast Pygmy Sunfish, Elassoma gilberti this weekend.Aquatic plants, please, someone...
Also small freshwater fish. Killies, livebearers, anything. Pleeease.

All listings must have an opening bid price. Minimum opening bid is $2 but opening bid can be higher. This will be used in lieu of reserves to ensure no item sells for an unreasonably low price. Please keep opening bids below what you consider the value of the item to be. "Bargain hunting" encourages bidding
BIDDING ON AN ITEM: All bids will be placed within the topic for each item; the thread following that topic (item) will be all bids posted and pertaining to that one item. *All amounts are in WHOLE U.S. DOLLARS.
BID INCREMENTS:
Please keep bids to WHOLE dollar amounts (no cents).
Bidding increments will be based on current high bid.
If the current high bid is between:
- $2-$19 you may place a bid no lower than $1 above the current bid
- $20-$49 you may place a bid no lower than $2 above the current bid
- $50 + you may place a bid no lower than $5 above the current bid
Bids higher than these minimums may be placed at any time.
For example: There is a Nepenthes listed; its current high bid is $5. You must bid AT LEAST $1 more (total $6 bid), but you can bid HIGHER (in even dollars). The Nepenthes bidding goes up to $20; you can bid $22 or higher (in $2 increments); the Nepenthes reaches $50; you can bid $55 or higher in $5 increments.
NOTE: If you do not understand bid increments, please contact me (Presto) or another NASC officer. We must have bid increments so people don't outbid by a few pennies.
**No bids (posts) can be edited and changed once posted; contact a moderator if you need to make a change on your listing. You may bid as often as you wish. No bids will be valid past stated auction ending time.
