Whoops! This is simply a misprint.

It came from Dave Purk's growlist:

...
GENUS Nepenthes
x Trichocarpa []
x Dominni "intermedia" []
gracilis []
mirabilis []
ventricosa []
vieillardii []

GENUS Cephalotus
follicularia []

Genlisea
hispidula []
repens 'Auyan Tepui' []

Notice the missing GENUS keyword on the Genlisea entry.

When my growlist-compiler program gobbles this up, it lumped the
"hispidula" and "repens" entries into the Cephalotus genus.

It's fixed now. No cause for alarm... ;-).

Best regards,

BTW: the growlist is available on the listserv archives.  (both by email
and on the WEB) It is called cp.growlist and is a compilation of lists
from 25 growers.  The file includes directions for how to submit your
own listing for inclusion in the database.
