"This plant was obtained from an F2 cross between an all red clone [Dionaea ' Royal Red ' {AUPBR 464}] and a more typically colored [Dionaea ' Sawtooth ' {B.Rice}] plant in 2000. It does not demonstrate any new mutation in general leaf form, but it does have new attributes which distinguish it from other, previously existing [Dionaea {Soland. ex Ellis}] cultivars. Establishing this plant name as a new cultivar will help keep proper order in the wide assortment of [Dionaea muscipula {Soland. ex Ellis}] cultivars already registered.This new cultivar differs in its growth from other [Dionaea {Soland. ex Ellis}] cultivars in the following ways:1)All-red coloration of plants, similar to [Dionaea ' Akai Ryu ' {R.Gagliardo}]. 2)Marginal trichomes are reduced and divided to numerous toothlets similar to [Dionaea ' Sawtooth ' {B.Rice}]. Note that the trichomes on [Dionaea ' Red Piranha ' {E.Read}] are dentate, but not sawtooth. 3)Adult plants are about 4-6 cm in diameter, only about half the size of most [Dionaea {Soland. ex Ellis}] (including [Dionaea ' Sawtooth ' {B.Rice}]). 4)Enormous proliferation. One individual is able to produce 10-30 or more offshoots during a single growth season."

"This plant is an all red flytrap which I have named [Dionaea ' Clayton's Red Sunset ' {C.Clayton}].

The features which make this cultivar different from other red flytraps (such as [Dionaea ' Red Dragon ' {R.Gagliardo}] or [Dionaea ' Red Piranha ' {E.Read}] are the following:A)The petioles are almost always long and thin. The other red flytraps have quite wide petioles, especially during the winter.B)During the winter, this cultivar totally loses its leaves, at least when grown in a Mediterranean climate. The other red flytraps retain at least some of their leaves.C)This plant is totally red, except for the teeth on immature traps, which are yellow. [Dionaea ' Red Dragon ' {R.Gagliardo}] incorporates green as part of its coloration at some time during its growth cycle.D)The color of this cultivar is a deeper, darker red than the other currently named red flytrap cultivars. It becomes almost black in the summer if exposed to full sunlight.E)The marginal spines on this cultivar are normal, and not sawtooth as in [Dionaea ' Red Piranha ' {E.Read}]."

The plant starts in spring with the first set of prostrate leaves with short petioles, after flower these are followed by long petiolate mid- summer leaves, to form the last set of wider short petiolate winter leaves in late summer or autumn. The leaf rosette reaches a diameter of ca. 10 cm and individual traps may attain a size of up to ca. 3 cm. The red colouration of the leaves depends, however, strongly on light conditions. Only plants exposed to full sunlight colour more or less intensely red or red-brown. In winter the plants frequently get green leaf margins or even whole plant portions that do not receive sufficient light remain dark green. As soon as the plants are exposed to more intense sunlight, the colour begins to change to typical again."

Description: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.33:100 (2004)

"Growing within this batch of plants was a small individual that differed from the others by a regular fusion of only a few spines into each of its teeth. The result was that each tooth was about 2 mm wide and was flattened in cross section, in contrast with the normal capillary nature of typical [Dionaea {L.}] plants. The tips of the teeth on this peculiar plant are often are multiply divided, revealing the fused nature of the teeth. The teeth are oriented normally, unlike the distorted positioning as is often observed with [Dionaea ' Fused Tooth ' {P.D'Amato}]. (...) Another peculiarity with [Dionaea ' Louchapates ' {R.Anfraix}] is exhibited near the apex of the trap, opposite the petiole. In normal specimens of [Dionaea {L.}], this region of the leaf lobe margins lacks spines. But in [Dionaea ' Louchapates ' {R.Anfraix}], marginal teeth are present on both lobes, all the way to the midpoint of the two lobe margins. This feature is also seen in [Dionaea ' Cupped Trap ' {S.Stewart}], although that cultivar also has trap that is cupped like a spoon. After three years of cultivation, [Dionaea ' Louchapates ' {R.Anfraix}] has undergone normal dormancies and has been propagated vegetatively. The progeny are showing the same features as the parent plant. This cultivar is not a member of the [Dionaea {L.}] Dentate Traps Group since its teeth originate from a fusion of multiple marginal spines, and are not short and triangular."

"Since my initial introduction to [Dionaea {L.}] cultivars, I have developed a hobby of comparing cultivars under similar growing conditions, including [Dionaea ' Akai Ryu ' {R.Gagliardo}]. It soon became apparent that the plant that I received from Peter was not the true [Dionaea ' Akai Ryu ' {R.Gagliardo}]. In fact, the plant was so different that on February 9, 2006 I decided it should be given a cultivar name, and selected the name [Dionaea ' Petite Dragon ' {R.Ziemer}]. Whereas [Dionaea ' Akai Ryu ' {R.Gagliardo}] is described in Carnivorous Plant Newsletter 25(2):50 as "far superior to any of the parents in terms of growth rate and vigor," and that "growth habit and flower morphology are typical for this species," [Dionaea ' Petite Dragon ' {R.Ziemer}] remains the smallest plant (even as a 6-year-old flowering adult) of any flytrap that I have grown in 50 years. Grown outside in full sun, a mature [Dionaea ' Petite Dragon ' {R.Ziemer}] trap is typically 15 mm long, with the largest attaining 17 mm (see Figure 1). The rosette diameter of mature plants is about 6 cm and rarely exceeds 10 cm in spring. The flower scape is about 12 cm tall and always bifurcates into two flower clusters, a large and small one (see Figure 2). The flowers have a red stigma. This is the only clone of the 61 "named" clones (i.e. plants with cultivar names, or other informal grower-given appellations) that I presently grow in which the flower scape bifurcates regularly. I have selfed this plant over several years and all of the offspring grow into small adults having bifurcated flower scapes. This plant and its seed offspring are all red like [Dionaea ' Akai Ryu ' {R.Gagliardo}], and the stigma is red as in many other all-red Dionaea clones.This plant will principally be of interest to those that study the genetic diversity of Dionaea muscipula. Those that seek giant specimens will perhaps conclude that [Dionaea ' Petite Dragon ' {R.Ziemer}], to quote a well-known critic, "only merits the trash can because it is a crappy grower". However, some growers may be interested in miniature rather than giant flytraps."

Description: Taublatt 51:22 (2005) (in German)

"The intensely dark red colouration has baptized [Dionaea ' Red Burgundy ' {M.Erbacher & M.Stoeckl}]. The comparatively strong and rapid (for a red cultivar) growth, the trapping leaves up to 5 cm large, and the up to 15 cm long petioles of the summer rosette are typical characteristics. The unusual dark red colour intensity makes this cultivar so exceptional. Even under normal light conditions the plant attains full colouration, which reaches an optimum with increasing sunlight and temperatures. At the end of summer and under corresponding growth conditions the plant colours particularly strongly dark red (burgundy). The winter leaves appearing in autumn are short petioled and wider. Smaller traps are formed and the red colouration retreats due to enhanced chlorophyll production."

Standard: Taublatt 51:22 (2005)

Propagation: by seed or vegetatively

Etymology: after the colouration of the plants

"(...)The plants varied greatly in trap bar (cilia on leaf margin) size and shape, but one plant in particular was just what I wanted. Because it is red and has trap bars that look like piranha teeth, I named it [Dionaea ' Red Piranha ' {E.Read}]. As with other red Venus Flytraps the intensity of red coloration varies according to cultivation and season. It has been noted by growers who cultivate it next to other popular red Venus Flytraps that its red coloration equals, if not supercedes, their red color."

"Distinct from other varieties (sic!) of [Dionaea muscipula {Soland. ex Ellis}] in that all parts of the plant, with the exception of the margins of the traps (see fig. 12), are dark red in colour (RHS 59A). [Dionaea muscipula {Soland. ex Ellis}] produces rosettes of petiolate (<= 85mm long), bi-lobed (<= 26mm long * <= 17 mm high), decumbent to erect leaves, the size of which varies with season. Do not exhibit any physical differences to other [Dionaea muscipula {Soland. ex Ellis}]. Green margins and red inner surfaces of the trap are characteristics common to both [Dionaea ' Royal Red ' {AUPBR 464}] and the normal form of [Dionaea muscipula {Soland. ex Ellis}], and it is the colour of the other plant parts which make [Dionaea ' Royal Red ' {AUPBR 464}] distibctive. Plants in winter dormancy and those grown in conditions of low light may lose some of the red pigmentation (as do most other carnivorous plants), but still retain appreciably more red pigment than typical [Dionaea muscipula {Soland. ex Ellis}]."

Description: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.29:16 (2000)

"This [Dionaea muscipula {Soland. ex Ellis}] is of uncertain origin, but has been distributed without an established name. As such, the commonly used name [Dionaea ' Sawtooth ' {B.Rice}] is being registered. [Dionaea ' Sawtooth ' {B.Rice}] is a remarkable plant in the Dionaea Dentate Traps Group {B.Rice}. Its marginal trap spines are reduced to small triangular teeth, as in [Dionaea ' Dentate Traps ' {B.Rice}]. Unlike that latter cultivar, however, the teeth of [Dionaea ' Sawtooth ' {B.Rice}] are frequently minutely divided into two or more tiny teethlets, so the trap has an almost fringed appearance. Late in the season, the interior of the traps may be deeply red, although this is not visible in young traps."

Standard: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.29:15 (2000)

Propagation: vegetative only

Etymology: the marginal trap tentacles are small and fimbriately notched

Description: Growing Carniv.Pl.:81 (2006)

"This new cultivar name is for a plant that was originally noticed by Mike Ross during a trip to Cresco Nursery in The Netherlands in 1996. The trap tissue never completely develops, so the leaf lobes have a jagged, incomplete structure. This plant never performs well and is often disliked by some growers, while others delight in its strangeness."
