I just copied and pasted the two in question. I've seen what I think are conflicting and confusing pictures on the Humboldt site. But maybe that's just me. Reading these descriptions illustrates to me that I need to learn another language! I have to find a metric ruler amongst the ruins of the kids' room and look up a few words - like papillose, pilose, and adnate.
No flowers yet. Those plants are from what you sent and they definitely look happy.
Oddly enough, the whole reason why and how I found the discussion forums was because I wanted an ID for a colony of sundews I bought at a local nursery. Savage Garden and CP's of the World, which I found at Barnes & Noble and Borders were helpful but not conclusive. I had the colony narrowed down to D. spatulata, intermedia, rotundifolia, and capillaris. So I did a search on the Internet and found somebody's picture that really looked like mine. It turned out to be D. spatulata and the process of searching resulted in stumbling across the discussion forums.
Here are some pics of D. capillaris from the site:
