Dear Paul,

The plants I have studied (in some detail because especially this
species is a problem systematically - a possible transition between
sects. _Oosperma_ and _Drosera_) were self fertile and autogamous
(self- pollinating). However, I suppose the species can be hybridized
readily (with at least _D. burkeana_ and _D. natalensis_, some of
the plants I have seen were rather certainly of hybridogenic origin).
So make sure to protect the inflorescence from cross-pollination (if
other _Drosera_ species are in flower nearby) in order to obtain the
same species in the offspring.

Kind regards
Jan
