"After "growing-on" it became obvious that one plant was unusual for it
presented a white flower and not the usual pink colour. The plant was
propagated further by leaf cuttings and seed and was found to breed
"true" (i.e. white flowers were produced). Another and probably more
significant feature of the described form is the lack of red colouration
in the leaves and tentacles under various lighting conditions, including
strong sun."

"Under my cultural conditions this clone
[Drosera ' Big Easy ' {W.J.Clemens}] has been just that, big and easy to
grow and propagate. It produces leaves a maximum of 23 cm (9 inches) long.
It has never gone dormant, never flowered or even initiated a flower stalk.
Several times I have managed to propagate it from leaf cuttings floating in
jars of pure water. It readily initiates buds and plants on any and all
pieces of severed root. I have propagated hundreds of plants this way and
have traded them widely.
Other than its ease of cultivation, which is its most distinctive
characteristic, its compact size is a distinctive characteristic of this
cultivar."

"This plant, which I am naming [Drosera ' Emerald's Envy ' {W.J.Clemens}],
can be distinguished from other [Drosera capillaris {Poir.}] plants by the
following features. The entire leaf petiole and blade exhibit light to
medium green coloration, even when grown in strong artificial light or full
sunlight. Other [Drosera capillaris {Poir.}] plants, if grown under low
light levels, may appear similarly colored, so it is important to compare
only plants grown in high light levels. Furthermore, the flowers of
[Drosera ' Emerald's Envy ' {W.J.Clemens}] are white--a somewhat unusual
color (although white-flowered plants are occasionally encountered in the
wild). Mature plants range between 2.5 and 4.0 cm in diameter when grown in
strong light, but may be even larger if grown in lower light levels.
[Drosera ' Emerald's Envy ' {W.J.Clemens}] may be propagated by seed or
vegetative means, but no matter how the plant is propagated, in order to
retain the name [Drosera ' Emerald's Envy ' {W.J.Clemens}], the progeny
must exhibit the light green leaf color, white flower color, and maintain
the form of the standard, even when grown under conditions of strong light
(including full sun).
[Drosera ' Emerald's Envy ' {W.J.Clemens}] is a tender perennial,
persisting throughout the year. My current colony (planted among several
pots) has been growing continuously since germinating in December of 2000."

"Hybrid seedlings between the varieties (of [Drosera binata {Labill.}])
are seldom satisfactory, and I was fortunate in selecting one solitary
seedling in 1983 which has proved itself to be of exceptional quality,
and which I have named [Drosera ' Marston Dragon ' {Hort.Slack}]. Its
pendulous stems are up to 36 cm (14 1/4 inches) long and bearblades
the segments of which are as wide as those of [Drosera binata
{Labill.} var.dichotoma {(Banks & Soland. ex Sm.) Mazrimas}], and are
the largest I have seen in this section. They divide irregularly into
two to eight points and are the same yellowish green as in [Drosera
dichotoma {Banks & Soland. ex Sm.}] (sic!), but the reddish pink
tentacles render them more attractive. A curious characteristic of the
blade is the manner in which the segments spread sideways, often to a
great length, the points curving round and clutching the air like talons,
the whole reminding one very much of the feet of a chinese dragon. The
flowers are large and are borne on long straight scapes, but again hardly
seem to suit the weeping habit, especially if the plant is in a hanging
basket, and I always remove them. In every respect I advise the same
treatment as for [Drosera binata {Labill.} var.multifida {Mazrimas}
f.extrema {Hort. ex Gilbert}] (nom.nud.)."

that are a deeper green, although the glands will stay red maintained.

the lower layers of leaves retain their red and green coloration well."

"This large-growing specimen of [Drosera {L.}] entered my collection in 2001
from seed sent to me as misidentified as a "superhairy" kind of
[Drosera montana {St.Hil.} var.tomentosa {(St.Hil.) Diels}]. After seeing
the mature plant did not conform to this identification, I sought to learn
its identity through many enquiries to the international carnivorous plant
community, which included such notables as Dr. Barry Rice, Dr. Jan
Schlauer, Fernando Rivadavia, Dr. Miloslav Studnicka, Vitor Oliveira de
Miranda, Ivan Snyder, and Robert Gibson. Most opinions were uncertain based
on the nature of the plants atypical appearance, and the lack of flowers
and scape at the time the enquiries were made. Robert Gibson was able to
provide a positive determination once the plant showed its white flowers,
and in August 2002 wrote, "I suspect they are indeed
[Drosera spatulata {Labill.}] -- the clincher is in the photo of the
flower. An older flower, below the open one, has sepal tips that have not
closed back over the top of the fruit. This seems to be only found in
[Drosera spatulata {Labill.}], but is not always developed. The leaf shape,
colour and base of scape, plus flower structure all agree with
[Drosera spatulata {Labill.}]." Ivan Snyder and Greg Bourke, familiar with
this species mentioned that it resembled the plants they had seen growing
on Fraser Island (Queensland, Australia).
This plant is distinguished by its large form: it grows up to 7 cm in
diameter, and up to 7 cm high. The leaves that form in the centre of the
plant have a slight undulation and arch, being held initially erect, and
later becoming decumbent in persistent layers. This habit raises the center
of the plant at maturity up to 7 cm from the surface of the substrate (see
Figure A). The rosettes of mature plants never lie flat against the
substrate. In general habit it is similar to [Drosera venusta {P.Debbert}],
for which it was initially mistaken by many experts. The flower of
[Drosera ' Tamlin ' {W.Dawnstar}] is white.
In strong light the plant attains a deep orange-red colouration overall,
and is well coloured even in lower light conditions of terraria.
Seedlings produced by self-pollination maintain this cultivar's unnique
characteristics. As such, this cultivar may be propagated both by seed and
vegetative means. This plant does not present any particular cultivation
challenges: it is a tropical plant that requires no dormancy, and produces
large amounts of seed. Vegetative propagation has not yet been attempted.
The plant is long-lived - the original plant of this cultivar I obtained
two years ago is still thriving in my collection."
