D. binata 'Marston Dragon' x

[jimscott]

I was given and just sprouted seeds. Do they revert back to just plain old D. binata?

'Marston Dragon'<span style='color:red'>[Edit: correct way to write the name is Drosera 'Marston Dragon', the cultivar name without the genus is like using the name, John without a last name. Real difficult to know which John without that added bit of information.]</span> is D. binata multifida x. D. binata dichotoma (maybe the other way around,) right? So who knows, you might get a surprise. In any case, they'll probably look a lot like the single-forked T-form until they're established.

I believe that is a cultivar (correct me if I'm wrong). Even if some of the seedlings show the exact same characteristics as the cultivar, you can not call them 'Maston Dragon'. I believe cultivars can only be propogated via TC, root cuttings and leaf cuttings.

Well they sound interesting anyway.

I'll give it a go. What's the worst that can happen? Talking Ebonics and eating capricious dentists?

Eating the destists yes. Talking idiot language no.

You realize, of course, I was referring to "Little Shop Of Horrors" - the sequal.

Yes, it is a registered cultivar, though it is correct only when written correctly: Drosera 'Marston Dragon'.

Consider yourself corrected. Cultivars only have to match the description and photographic standard of that cultivar to qualify for the name. Their parentage is not relivant. If a seedling, of whatever parentage matches the described characteristics of the cultivar and photographic standard, it most certainly can be called by that cultivar name.

Jim,
Do you mean that these seed were a cross; D. binata 'Marston Dragon' x D. binata (multifida)?

 

[jimscott]

I'll recheck the paper they came in, but that is how I remember them being written.
