Christian,
Considering the variability within Drosera natalensis across it's range I think one must look beyond the obvious phenotypical differences. I have seen plants with spoon shaped lamina superficially similar to D. spatulata, only hairy. I have seen the same form with wider lamina as in D. venusta and D. "coccicaulis". I have seen lamina closely approximating those of D. aliciae but with a lax and open rosette. I have seen very narrow lamina: about the width of D capensis.
I have D. dielsiana which are intermediate with D. natalensis by virtue of the less divided styles (remember the photo I posted in the ID forum? Robert thought this would have to be called D. natalensis!) I also have D. dielsiana that look like miniature D. venusta only with green lamina, but with the same upright form.
So I would again stress that a very open mind is required regarding this complex species, and a willingness to surrender the cherished taxonomic concept of "typical", and remember that especially in South Africa the word species is a verb, not a noun. So Christian, in this case I find I am in support of Dr. Schlauer's opinion that there are already too many "species" within the D. natalensis/aliciae/burkeana/dielsiana/nidiformis/madagascariensis complex.
For those of us with less of a categorical imperative, all the forms are beautiful and worth growing. This particular form is robust and handsome.
If anyone else has D. natalensis in cultivation, please post some photos!
The form I want to find is the one Rico posted photos of. I suspect this is the way the plants in Madagascar would look, and these would be the most pure examples within a variable species.
Rex, yes this is the seed I sent to you.
