Hello all, Are these plants Drosera oblanceolata? I have grown them from seeds labeled as oblanceolata but they look a bit different from the internet serach. Thanks in advance! Willy

Mmmm, they do not look like mine. I'll try to take a picture tonight.

Thanks! I got the seeds from another member long long ago, so perhaps just a mislabel

Hi Willy - I've never grown D. oblanceolata. That said, the way the petioles are reflexed and type of stipules on your plant make me think this plant is not from section Drosera at all, but rather from section Bryastrum (the pygmy sundews). It is holding its petals a bit oddly for a pygmy dew though. Still, the floral diversity in section Bryastrum is probably the greatest in any section of sundews. I could be wrong (happens all the time!), but I wonder if this isn't some form of Drosera pulchella with very, very narrow petioles? Or perhaps a D. pulchella hybrid? I do think it's a pygmy. But, my identification of pygmy sundew species needs loads of work!

Hello Alex, These sundew are relatively large size (2.5-3.5cm wide) and I have moved them around successfully without problems. Willy

These sundew are relatively large size (2.5-3.5cm wide) Yup, that's not a pygmy. Way larger than it looks in the photos. And you are right, it looks like some of the D. spatulata complex have some interesting stipules. I don't tend to think of them that way. Probably because I grow D. s. var. gympiensis which doesn't have any interesting stipules to speak of. I know of a putative D. ultramafica x spatulata that was passed around as a genuine D. ultramafica which has interesting stipules. But, it has white flowers, so no dice on a match to your plant. Sorry I couldn't help Willy. I'll be curious about the result if you can get a positive ID though. Good luck!

Thank you Martin! I think mine is D. sp. “Lantau Island Hybrid”, it is a natural hybrid with D. oblanceolata and D. spatulata from Hong Kong.

Those are indeed a D. spatulata x oblanceolata cross Willy - I believe Keehn's Carnivores used to sell them under the name of D. oblanceolata, so I'd assume that's where the mislabelling came from. I have plants that look nearly identical to the ones you have that I got from him. It's a very pretty and vigorous hybrid though!

It is very vigorous and hardy indeed, I can't imagine that I haven't lost a single one of them since I have started them from seeds. I mean my plants have been through floods, droughts, heat strokes, moving...! Willy
