Sounds like you've been busy! That's an interesting data product you
have. Something I noticed about the growlists is that obvious misspellings
of species were listed separately. For instance (let me make one up)
D. adelae and D.edelae. Are you looking at ways of clobbering this
problem? I'm still trying to find time to write some programs to
convert my growlist (which is in the form of an ascii TEX file) to
your format...

Wow. Big seeds! Incidentally, the fast bushfire you describe is what I mean
by a cool burn. I usually make these fires (as described by Slack in his
books) out of dried wild oats or other grasses to germinate the _Byblis_
taxa that require it.
Charles Umbanhowar:
Good to have you on. An excellent book for you, that you might already
be aware of, is Crum's work on peat wetlands. It pertains directly to
the general ecology of your area. As for your other questions, a good
place to find out about the various
CP sources is our industrious listkeeper's various archives. And
as for cultivation, there are library books by Slack, Schnell, Cheers, or
Pietrapaolo that won't do you wrong.
Senor Taylor, the _Utricularia_ seeds you sent germinated. With any
luck (or maybe lots of it) I'll ID it for you in several months!
