Says its endangered. If they share some seeds we can help with that!

This is a very pretty plant, Fernando shared a lot of great photos on the ICPS facebook group and in a couple of other places. The size they attain is just incredible.
Seeds were (legally!) collected, and apparently there's already germination in Europe, so we'll see how long it takes to make it over here. Hopefully it'll be an easy grower, unlike some of the more fickle stem forming SA Drosera.

In Barry Rice's book, he points out that growing plants in your house and not in the plant's ancestral environment is not conservation.
Of course, I'd like some (legally obtained) seeds, too.

Like peat said, there are several growers that have seed from this plant that plan on producing seed to spread around the world. I know of at least one grower that plans on giving away free seed. It will help ease any pressure from potential seed collectors.

It's good to see the illustrator for the pub finally got the drawings done (that was a big contributor to the lag between the photos on ICPS and the actual publication coming out). It's a nice looking plant! I hope the Brazilians are working to preserve it (though it lives on a mountain that has some protection already).
