It's night time now so I can't take a good look. But from what I see from the photos I have of the flowers, all the tropical species have glands on the petals!
Yes, I can not see the glands without the aid of a magnifier. The ones on the edges and back of the petals are larger and somewhat easier to see. Backlighting helps. The glands on the inside (purple) side of the petals are very fine. I wouldn't be able to spot them at all even with 12x magnification if they didn't catch the light.
Comparison of B. guehoi (left) vs presumed hybrid of B. 'Goliath' × guehoi, magnification roughly the same.
This one particular hybrid start branching very early, it looks like three plants in the pot - I had to bury the original stem because it was very week. I also tore away some of the roots which had formed a considerable spiral at the bottom of the pot. I wasn't sure it would survive given the reputation Byblis has for not appreciating root disturbance.
Ok so I treated some of the 2nd generation seed 1000 ppm GA3 for 24 hours. Germination has begun 3 days later. Pictures to follow when there is something worth taking pictures of.
