Selected Readings in Drosera: A Bibliography

I have been asked often enough for some pertinent “scientific” literature regarding the genus Drosera. The following is a very non-academic compilation taken from notes, jottings and the like. I hope some of it proves useful. I think I have provided enough information for a competent and sympathetic librarian to assist in acquiring these papers and books. In the U.S. interlibrary loan is a great research tool, and much can be acquired with a little effort.

Please feel free to amend or correct any errors, and to add to the list if you have further suggested readings. This is a very fragmentary and partial list, and not inclusive by any stretch of the imagination. It should keep you busy for a little while at least.

I did not write it into the bibliography, but I highly recommend the Allen Lowrie books as well. Rika Erickson’s works on Western Australian CP is also excellent, especially from a historical view.

Why don't ye put this in the article section, it'll cramp up the dosera board...oh rightits about dosera...

Its not all the names right? No, too little, must be a booklist...

OOps. OK, not a bibliography. These are a selection of papers I have read and used. Like I said, it isn't inclusive but it offers a good start.
 
Thank you for compiling and writing all that up for the boards. I know it took a lot of time and effort to do that. That's quite a long list! I wonder if I provided the list to the Botanical Garden here, if they would get copies...they recently opened their new library.

Thank you for doing that.

  It's times like this that you really appretciate the "bookmark" button.  Awesome job, must've taken a while eh?
 
As a matter of fact it did. I went by old notes and the faded scrawled entries in the margins of the copied and recopied papers. I wrote it all out by hand and then typed it out.

Mrs. Fleishman was brething down my neck the whole while. She was my Senior year English teacher. She looked and acted like a torpedo. I doubt she would approve, but this is the best I can come up with off handedly (more or less) and I did promise to write it up.
