Robert,
Yes, Jo' is still doing the plant selling job. I assume he is just busy.
But I'll remind him to answer your request the next time I'll see him.

With the _Drosera_ problem it looks like we have to expect a name flood if
some specialists do not even accept "D.coccicaulis" to be synonymous with
_D.venusta_. But the species concept in _Drosera_ always used to be
dependent on the different authors' views. I'll just have to wait and see.
Maybe some fine day someone comes with a really satisfactory review. This
could well be the date at which I'd change *my* species concept but with
the existing *very fragmentary* bits of published information and my own
(a bit less fragmentary) experience, I rather follow A. Obermeyer with only
3 taxa (i.e. _D.aliciae_, _D.natalensis_, and _D.dielsiana_).

Kind regards
Jan
