The major purpose of this document is to give a summary of pictures of my plants to allow you to check for differences between plants and clones and to assist in selecting the species you would like to grow.
Another idea is to avoid further spreading of incorrectly labelled plants.

Please note that all photos were made by me and may not be used without my permission!

If you find an incorrectly labelled plant, please let me know.

Species and forms

Drosera androsacea

Drosera barbigera ssp. barbigera

form 1 (obtained from J. J. Labat)

small southern form (Lowrie 2007)

giant northern form (Lowrie 2007)

Drosera callistos

Drosera callistos (same as Brookton Form?)

Drosera callistos type (Lowrie 2007)

Drosera callistos Brookton Form

Drosera closterostigma

Drosera closterostigma

Drosera closterostigma {small, multi-flowered Mogumber form}

Drosera dichrosepala

Drosera dichrosepala (obtained as D. barbigera)

Drosera dichrosepala {Fish Track Road}

Drosera echinoblastus

normal form

large flower form, obtained incorrectly labelled as D. hyperostigma. Plants, inflorescence and flowers are larger than the normal form above.

Drosera eneabba

Drosera eneabba A: reddish plants

Drosera eneabba B: golden green plants

Drosera enodes Giant

Drosera ericksoniae (= D. omissa)

white flower form: The flowers are of a very pale pink in spring and white in summer. They usually set seeds without any intervention, seeds germinate readily.

pink flower form: The flowers are of a pink to purple all year and usually set seeds without any intervention.

Drosera grievei

Drosera helodes

Drosera hyperostigma

I obtained gemmae of this species from 3 different sources in the 2007/2008 season. This time all seem to be correctly labelled. At this moment I can not tell, whether I also got hold of genetically different plant (for cross pollination)

Drosera lasiantha

Drosera leucoblasta

Brookton form: This form produces lots of seeds.

Cranbrook form: I am not sure the plants I have seen with this name are really a D. leucoblasta and not D. echinoblastus. I am still looking for plants under this name resembling the typical D. leucoblasta features.

Drosera mannii

clone A and B : pale pink flower (different sources, but very likely the same clone)

clone C: white flower

clone D: pale pink flower (may be the same clone as A and B)

Drosera miniata

type : obtained from Lowrie 2007

Coomallo form

Drosera (nitidula var.) allantostigma

Drosera (nitidula var.) leucostigma

Drosera nivea

Drosera occidentalis ssp. australis

Drosera occidentalis ssp. australis

Drosera occidentalis ssp. australis Warriup

The flowers have a scent which reminds me of bubble gum. Plants, flower

Drosera paleacea ssp. paleacea

Plant

Drosera paleacea ssp. leioblastus (J. J. Labat, probably incorrect ID?)

According to Lowrie one typical feature of this species is are the numerous long hairs (2 mm) on the flower stalk. The plants I obtained under this name have a glabrous flower stalk. The flowers have an intense honey-like scent which you can not miss if you inspect a plant in flower. Plants with gemmae, plant with gemmae, flower and flower stalk, flowers

Clone D (platystigma type, Lowrie 2007) : no pictures yet

Drosera platystigma Giant form

Drosera pulchella

Please note that I stuck to the names the gemmae came with. In some cases these names seem to be a bit surprising

many flower forms

Pink flowered forms:

• Pink/white: Flower (this picture shows the real colour quite well), flower 2
• Red purple Big Brook: at least in spring the inflorescences are very short, about 1-1.5 cm Flower, plant in flower (note the short inflorescence)
• Purple/maroon: Flower, flower (with an incorrect label), flower
• Red/purple: pale pink flowers on short flower stalks; plants, plant 2, flower, flower 2

Orange flowered forms: The colour of my forms is very similar. The major differences are size (but that is also variable within a population), the shape of petals and other flower organs and the intensity of the coloration of the centre.

• Salmon Flower: very similar with Scott River form, petals usually overlap widely, maroon centre Flower, plants in flower, plants with gemmae
• Scott River: petals show less overlap compared to “Salmon Flower”, otherwise very similar Flowers
• Orange 1 (MH): a bit smaller flowers compared to “Orange 2”, symmetrical, petals are often overlapping
• Orange 2 (DW clone): usually the flowers are not very symmetrical flowers
• 35b: petals overlap 35b flower
• 85b: flower, flower 2
• orange with dark-red-almost black centre, Baker’s Junction, West Australia (Lowrie 2007): unfortunately, I missed all fully open flowers so far. Once I had the opportunity to see a halfway closed flower: the center did not look dark red, but the flower was of a real and beautiful orange – very different to the other forms above.

White flowered forms:

• Light pink: larger and whiter flowers compared to “white flower, red centre” Flower, Flower 2
• White Flower red centre: Flowers, more flowers,

Drosera pycnoblasta

Last season I listed D. pycnoblasta and D. pycnoblasta ‘pink flower’. Both flowered now for me side by side and I did not find significant differences. Plant, plant late in the season, flowers, flower bud, typical flower, flowers after heat shock, close up, another one

Drosera rechingeri

ID not yet fully confirmed; stipule bud

Drosera scorpioides Albany

Originally from Dirk Ventham, probably collected pre-Lowrie. Has very pale pink flowers. Plants, flowers

Drosera scorpioides pink flower

Drosera scorpioides large

A form with pale lilac flowers, will grow to decent size over the years

Drosera scorpioides Gidgegannup form

A form with pure white flowers, a relatively small form in my hands.

Drosera sewelliae

A species with impressive flowers, one of my favourites. Plants, plant with developing flower bud, same plants a little later, opening flower buds; Flowers 1, Flowers 2, Flowers 3, Flowers 4 (comparison with D. miniata Coomallo), Flowers 5 (comparison with D. miniata Coomallo and D. barbigera ssp. barbigera)

Drosera sewelliae greenish form

This is a addition from the previous gemmae season. So far I could not detect differences between the greenish and reddish plants.

Drosera sewelliae reddish form

This is a addition from the previous gemmae season. So far I could not detect differences between the greenish and reddish plants. leaf, flower shot 1, 2, opening flower 1, 2, 3

Drosera ericksoniae x pulchella (broadly spread hybrid)

Drosera nitidula ssp. omissa x occidentalis ssp. occidentalis

plants with gemmae

Drosera (nitidula var.) allantostigma x ericksoniae

5 plants germinated from this cross. They all look very similar. The flower colour ranges from white to a very pale pink.

Drosera pulchella x ericksoniae (2006): all 4 in flower

White flowered hybrid (Drosera pulchella 35B x ericksoniae white flower)

This cross produced only one plant which turned out to have a clear white flower.

Flowers, plant, comparison with light pink/red center flowered form

White flower with red centre (Drosera pulchella white/red x ericksoniae white flower)

The cross of these two parents produced two plants. One has clear white flowers with a red centre and the other one shows a pale pink, also with a red centre. After taking the first pictures I dropped the pot with this cross. Hopefully the plants did not get damaged too much.

Pale “orange” flowered hybrid (Drosera pulchella red purple x ericksoniae white flower)

Quite unexpectedly both plants from this cross turned out to produce a flower colour far from the pink of mot pink D. pulchella. The colour is difficult to describe but it goes into the direction of a paler version of “orange” flowered D. pulchella. Both plants from this attempt have nearly identical flowers.

flowers, comparison of both clones, comparison with D. ericksoniae x pulchella, comparison with D. pulchella orange

flower colour still unknown (Drosera pulchella orange x ericksoniae white flower)

This one is very different from all other plants I grew from seeds so far. First of all, overall D. ericksoniae influence is much less compared to the others. But more importantly, the middle of the leaf is not covered with tentacles.
