I have some Byblis liniflora ssp liniflora from Darwin and they readily
set seed. Is Byblis liniflora ssp occidentalis also found around
Darwin? If so, that would explain Fernando's observation.

I was interested to read Phil's observation that B liniflora ssp
occidentalis flower structure seems to be intermediate between B
liniflora ssp liniflora and B gigantea. I understand that hybridogenic
origin has been ruled out. Is there a case for raising this to species
rank ie Byblis occidentalis?
