"After "growing-on" it became obvious that one plant was unusual for it
presented a white flower and not the usual pink colour. The plant was
propagated further by leaf cuttings and seed and was found to breed
"true" (i.e. white flowers were produced). Another and probably more
significant feature of the described form is the lack of red colouration
in the leaves and tentacles under various lighting conditions, including
strong sun."

It produces leaves a maximum of 23 cm (9 inches) long. It has never
gone dormant, never flowered or even initiated a flower stalk. Several
times I have managed to propagate it from leaf cuttings floating in jars
of pure water. It readily initiates buds and plants on any and all
pieces of severed root. I have propagated hundreds of plants this way

is its most distinctive characteristic, its compact size is a

"Although D. rotundifolia may not be as clearly variable as Darwin's
finches, there are certainly different ecotypes to be found. [Drosera '
Charles Darwin ' {I.Snyder}] was created by hybridizing two different
parent forms of [Drosera rotundifolia {L.}] naturally found in
California which I had originally collected in July, 1997. One parent
(from Gasquet, Del Norte Co.; a lowland site) had a weak dormancy
requirement, while the other was a larger plant (Willow Lake, N. Plumas
CO.; a highland site). I had been cross pollinating these in an attempt
to develop a plant more desirable for cultivation; in October 2001 I
germinated a plant that exceeded all my expectations. Cultivate
[Drosera ' Charles Darwin ' {I.Snyder}] as you would the tropical form
of [Drosera anglica {Huds.}] from Hawaii. Like the Hawaiian plant,
[Drosera ' Charles Darwin ' {I.Snyder}] grows continuously under typical
indoor terrarium cultivation. Grown outdoors in temperate regions the
plant will produce a protective winter bud as normal for [Drosera
rotundifolia {L.}]. [Drosera ' Charles Darwin ' {I.Snyder}] seed is
vigorous and viable, and germinates readily without a cold
stratification period. In fact, if the seed is not promptly harvested
and dried it often germinates while still in the seed capsule and then
rots. While this makes it easy to sow the already germinating
seedlings, it complicates the procedure of harvesting seed for storage.
Plants flower readily without having to enter a dormancy period first.
[Drosera ' Charles Darwin ' {I.Snyder}] has proven superior in
cultivation to all known natural forms. In many growth trials, growers
have remarked that it performs especially well indoors. Cultivation is
easy via leaf cuttings. Furthermore, the cultivar's three hallmark
traits, seed germination without cold stratification, year-round growth
indoors, and ability to flower without having first gone through a
dormancy period, are also preserved when the plant is propagated by
seed, so the cultivar is available through the ICPS Seed bank."

"This plant, which I am naming [Drosera ' Emerald's Envy '

{Poir.}] plants by the following features. The entire leaf petiole and
blade exhibit light to medium green coloration, even when grown in
strong artificial light or full sunlight. Other [Drosera capillaris
{Poir.}] plants, if grown under low light levels, may appear similarly
colored, so it is important to compare only plants grown in high light
levels. Furthermore, the flowers of [Drosera ' Emerald's Envy '
{W.J.Clemens}] are white--a somewhat unusual color (although
white-flowered plants are occasionally encountered in the wild). Mature
plants range between 2.5 and 4.0 cm in diameter when grown in strong
light, but may be even larger if grown in lower light levels. [Drosera
' Emerald's Envy ' {W.J.Clemens}] may be propagated by seed or
vegetative means, but no matter how the plant is propagated, in order to
retain the name [Drosera ' Emerald's Envy ' {W.J.Clemens}], the progeny
must exhibit the light green leaf color, white flower color, and
maintain the form of the standard, even when grown under conditions of
strong light (including full sun). [Drosera ' Emerald's Envy '
{W.J.Clemens}] is a tender perennial, persisting throughout the year.

segments of which are as wide as those of [Drosera binata var.

have seen in this section. They divide irregularly into two to eight
points and are the same yellowish green as in [Drosera dichotoma {Banks

more attractive. A curious characteristic of the blade is the manner in
which the segments spread sideways, often to a great length, the points
curving round and clutching the air like talons, the whole reminding one
very much of the feet of a chinese dragon. The flowers are large and
are borne on long straight scapes, but again hardly seem to suit the

"This large-growing specimen of [Drosera {L.}] entered my collection in
2001 from seed sent to me as misidentified as a "superhairy" kind of
[Drosera montana var. tomentosa {(St.Hil.) Diels}]. After seeing the
mature plant did not conform to this identification, I sought to learn
its identity through many enquiries to the international carnivorous
plant community, which included such notables as Dr. Barry Rice, Dr.
Jan Schlauer, Fernando Rivadavia, Dr. Miloslav Studnicka, Vitor
Oliveira de Miranda, Ivan Snyder, and Robert Gibson. Most opinions were
uncertain based on the nature of the plants atypical appearance, and the
lack of flowers and scape at the time the enquiries were made. Robert
Gibson was able to provide a positive determination once the plant
showed its white flowers, and in August 2002 wrote, "I suspect they are
indeed [Drosera spatulata {Labill.}] -- the clincher is in the photo of
the flower. An older flower, below the open one, has sepal tips that
have not closed back over the top of the fruit. This seems to be only
found in [Drosera spatulata {Labill.}], but is not always developed.
The leaf shape, colour and base of scape, plus flower structure all
agree with [Drosera spatulata {Labill.}]." Ivan Snyder and Greg Bourke,
familiar with this species mentioned that it resembled the plants they
had seen growing on Fraser Island (Queensland, Australia). This plant
is distinguished by its large form: it grows up to 7 cm in diameter, and
up to 7 cm high. The leaves that form in the centre of the plant have a
slight undulation and arch, being held initially erect, and later
becoming decumbent in persistent layers. This habit raises the center
of the plant at maturity up to 7 cm from the surface of the substrate
(see Figure A). The rosettes of mature plants never lie flat against
the substrate. In general habit it is similar to [Drosera venusta
{P.Debbert}], for which it was initially mistaken by many experts. The
flower of [Drosera ' Tamlin ' {W.Dawnstar}] is white. In strong light
the plant attains a deep orange-red colouration overall, and is well
coloured even in lower light conditions of terraria. Seedlings produced
by self-pollination maintain this cultivar's unnique characteristics.
As such, this cultivar may be propagated both by seed and vegetative
means. This plant does not present any particular cultivation
challenges: it is a tropical plant that requires no dormancy, and
produces large amounts of seed. Vegetative propagation has not yet been
attempted. The plant is long-lived - the original plant of this
cultivar I obtained two years ago is still thriving in my collection."
