Hello to all,
I just wanted to share with everyone the latest news about D.meristocaulis -- news which will throw open discussions about the spread of CPs and plants in general... I've just received results of DNA sequencing which puts D.meristocaulis NOT as a close relative of pygmy sundews or of the pygmies and petiolaris-complex species. To our total surprise, it appeared AMONG the pygmies, as a full member of subgenus Bryastrum, somewhere between D.scorpioides and D.ericksoniae!!!!!! Needless to say we are aghast with these results and are trying to fathom the depth of what this means...
Best Wishes,
Fernando Rivadavia
