D. burmannii or D. sessilifolia

thbjr

Don't eat me,... Mr. Flytrap
I have a Drosera that I bought as a sessilifolia, but am now concerned that it may actualy
be a burmannii. I let it flower and am collecting seed. If it is sessilifolia, I want to send
the seed to the ICPS seed bank, as they currently have no sessilifolia seed.
Since I have no experiance ID'ing them, I need the experts help. Here are the pictures.

Sorry the pictures are super size, but I want as much detail as I can get for ID'ing it.
I got it about 7-8 weeks ago.
It has grown about 8-12 new leafs and has been in my terrarium under 2, 110 watt equivalant
CFL's since I got it and has really gotten a nice red coloring lately.
Thanks, Tom
 
That is definatley sessilifolia.
Burmanii has only white tentacles.
 
D.burmanni: leaves yellow-green, more triangular, flowers white, flower scape often with a curve at the base. D.sessilifolia: leaves orangish-yellow, more rounded, flowers pink, flower scape erect. (as described by bobz on the cp photo finder) ...there are also hybrids of the two.

Nice plant and flower. I have a clump of what's suppose to be sessilifolia but it looks like it's just moss. Has no growth like that or even a small one like my burmannii .
 
How do you tell if its a hybrid ? I have had difficulty telling if what I grow is burmanii or sessilifolia or a hybrid of the two. It is green in shade, and red in sun (only the tentacles), and looks just like the ones in the photos above. the flowers are a hint of purple and white.
 
i say hybrid. it has leaves like burmanni....and the flower stalk of sessilifolia. my burmanni also had red glands.

Thanks ALL, for your input. Since I can't be sure they are sessilifolia, I'm giving/trading them here.
