Alex, it is my understanding the aff. stands for affinis (latin word) which means "like". In other words these may not be the true species, in this case D. ordensis, but a species similar to it.
I have heard that until a taxonomist verifies the species it should retain the affinis word before the species!
Until then, there are many forms of these species which is all the more fascinating!

Those are really good looking pictures! The D. Caduca is interesting. It doesn't look very much like a Drosera.

Guess we'll just wait and see. I've no idea how it's supposed to look like.
