"Growth habit and flower morphology are typical for this species. The
leaf petiole, blade and trap exhibit dark maroon to burgundy coloration.
Any green coloration has only been noted around the center of the plant
in mid-winter. The entire trap, interior and exterior, exhibits dark
burgundy coloration throughout the year. Grown under laboratory
conditions, where nutrient levels can be comparatively high, the plants
still exhibit partial burgundy coloration in the traps and leaf blade."

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

proliferation. One individual is able to produce 10-30 or more
offshoots during a single growth season."

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 '

"[Dionaea ' Holland Red ' {M.Erbacher & M.Stoeckl}] grows like the

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."

"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

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

"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."

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."

[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."
