I may recall the article you're talking about. This article described a
sort of standardized hybrid name for all the F1 crosses you could do
with northern species, i.e.
_D.linearis_ X _D.filiformis_==> _D. X linfil_
_D.anglica_ X _D.filiformis_==> _D. X angfil_
etc etc. But this article struck me as premature since none of these
crosses had been made. There was a picture of a putative _capensisXaliciae_
in a CPN, but I've not heard about this plant since then, so I think the
cross turned out to be bogus. Occasionally I've gotten exotic _Drosera_
hybrids in the mail (like ``_capillarisXcapensis'' etc) but they've
always turned out to be one of the parents in purebred form.
So I'm skeptical.

Doug: Interesting experiment. Why don't you try it (if you have room and the
time).
