D. rotundifolia... (really capillaris)
- Thread starter Dyflam
- Start date
Gorgeous photo, but I'm not convinced it is actually Drosera rotundifolia, too many tentacles pointing the wrong way on a petiole that seems to be the wrong shape where it connects to the leaf blade. Could you pan back a little and give us another shot of the same plant? Thanks.

PingMan, I take my pics with a Nikon Coolpix 4500 (my new baby). It has excellent macro capabilities. I like that.
The plant is pretty new and hasn't flowered yet. I remember the first time I looked in the pot and saw a tiny spot of red... excellent!
nate (hope you don't mind me calling you nate), the plant is about an inch in diameter and for anybody wondering, the ping is either a lutea or caerulia... we'll just have to wait until it flowers I guess.

I don't think that intermedia x rotundifolia is possible... When i was up north this past summer there was lots of rotundifolia and lots of intermedia... LOTS of it... In those quantities I would expect that some have been cross pollinated, but there was nothing that was an intermediate between the two... D. capillaris is not that simialar to rotundifolia... Its more easily confused with intermedia than rotundifolia... I would say your plant, Dyflam, is rotundifolia if its not spathulata...
If that is indeed a P. primuflora, than I would suppose that it is for sure rotundifolia...

D. capillaris it is. I emailed Bruce and he positively ID'd it for me.

Parasuco,
The form of capillaris you believe might be intermedia might be capillaris long arm form found in the Southern U.S. This beautiful plant is likely to be a hybrid between intermedia and capillaris. If the plant flowered with a pink flower, it is capillaris, if white it is most likely to be intermedia. Capillaris also has some hairs visable on the petioles, vs. intermedia which is galabrescent (hairless). Hope this helps.
