Dave (& Zachary),

I do not claim to be a taxonomical wizzard, but this is my $.02

Sounds like someone was feeling creative with their hybridizing
attempts between cephalotus and genlesia...... Wouldn't that be
neat? Carnivorous both above and below the ground. :) What a
shame this isn't possible due to the obvious chromosome differences.
Take care & keep on growing,



-Tom- & Krissy
