Identification on an unknown strain of VFT.

  • #21
If your plant fits the registered description for 'Big Mouth', then its a Big Mouth.
Here is what the CP Database says about 'Big Mouth'.
------------
N: $[Dionaea ' Big Mouth ' {T.Camilleri}]
P: Carniv.Pl.:16 (1998)
S: =[Dionaea muscipula {Soland. ex Ellis}]
HC: name not registered with IRA, description insufficient
B: ?, before 1998
Nominant: T.Camilleri, 1998
Description: Carniv.Pl.:16

"A comparison of a conventional sized trap and the [Dionaea ' Big Mouth ' {T.Camilleri}] variety (sic!) which produces large traps on very short leaves."
------------

Unfortunately, I have not seen the original article [Carniv.Pl.:16 (1998)] that describes the plant, but if the quote from the database is complete, then virtually any VFT with "large traps on very short leaves" would fit the description -- whether green, red, or blue.

Anybody knows if "wild Interiors" vft are authentic cultivars. I bought 2 from Walmart this one look like an sd kronos. Can anyone help me identify this cultivars. The brand just says whatever is available at the time. No name on containers. Also has spikes on lower leaf (petiole).

You could guess, based on researching cultivar descriptions and such but without the source verifying what you have you'll never be able to positively i.d. your plant. In effect, your plant was sold as a "typical" form, even if it came from actual cultivar stock.
