Hello,

It was mentioned, and shown in my cp book, that the D. rotundifolia is
in a tight rosette that hugs the ground. The plant I bought is in a 2 1/2-3"
pot and the round, flat sticky pads are on long thin stems, many of which are
upright to 45 degrees from the base and not closesly packed. Many new shoots
are emerging from the center in an upright fashion to a lenght of 2" high
before opening the pads. Is this plant another type of Drosera that was just
classified under rotundifolia or is this lengthy growth due to insufficient
light from the grower and indoor general nursery(which has just opened and
unpacking things) which I bought it from? The company that the nursery bought
it from on the label is Gubber.

Thankyou

Edward Bennett
