« Thread Started on 11 Sept, 2007, 18:13 »Hi everyone!
Is anyone know the right place which i can find Drosera sp. in Peninsular Malaysia. Based on our collection, D. burmanni had collected from Terengganu, Pahang and G. Ledang. D. indica only collected from Langkawi. If any member's know about this, i hope u dont mind to share any info with me.
Thank u very much.
Best regard,

« Reply #3 on 11 Sept, 2007, 21:54 »Hmm... D. indica in Langkawi... Siti, Did you study it's life span?

Don't know if the Langkawi's D. indica will live longer than the strain I have now? May be the tropica one won't died after got flower...

Siti. Do you have the photo for this sundew? « Last Edit: 11 Sept, 2007, 21:55 by piscesilim »Link to Post - Back to Top http://s4.images.proboards.com/ip.gif LoggedLimsiti

« Reply #4 on 12 Sept, 2007, 8:54 »lisham- D. indica habit; heathy or sandy places, speciemen note: 'surrounding Langkawi'
Piscesilim- I have seen Drosera in Kew Garden and Hortus Botanicus Garden, Leiden, The Netherland, mostly cultivated but i never met Drosera in wild yet. i'm looking forward to find it.

In FRIM, we have very poor collection on Dosera, but from SING herbarium (S'pore), D. indica had colllected from Langkawi in 1889 by Curtis and in 1900 by M. Haniff (Famous Malay Plant Collector). If anyone can find Drosera again in Langkawi, that be very good, there is no record found in others places yet. For D. burmanni, usually in damp sandy spots, mossy places, more widespread than D. indica. It has been found a few places in Terengganu and Pahang and also on Kedah Peak and Mt Ophir (old name for Mt. Ledang).

I have photo for specimen herbarium of D. indica from Langkawi, how can i share here? anwy, Drosera herbarium specimen not good looking as the life one huhu.. http://s4.images.proboards.com/smiley.gif

Sharing the interesting plant with all the Lover's really great. I 'm very pleasure if u guys can give me some advise on Drosera (anything about habit, morphology or else..)

In Malaysia, the easy place to find Drosera is Tmn Ngr Bako. But, again, i never been to Borneo yet. http://s4.images.proboards.com/wink.gif

Hopely, we can share more in future.

« Reply #5 on 12 Sept, 2007, 9:23 »Siti, d.burmanii can also be found nearby kuching. can`t reveal the exact location tho.

you are welcomed to view some varieties of drosera in my garden if you wish...limited lah compared to Kew Gardens ( my dream place to visit or even work as a gardener, heheh )....check out the grow list section for what i have if you are keen.

btw, is the spellling burmanni or burmanii ? i think it`s the latter rite.....but do correct me if i`m wrong coz i meself often get confused.

« Reply #8 on 12 Sept, 2007, 12:05 »Hmm... 1900... That's mean no record for D. indica after 1900? It's about 100 years ago! Anyway, I would like to explore around the Langkawi once I got enough money.

« Reply #10 on 12 Sept, 2007, 13:50 »Perhaps it's development. These plants are so delicate and small. Even if they were growing on a few meter square area and a group of hikers walked by, there goes the plants. All smashed and elimited.

I doubt it is because of poaching as not many people know about these plants in Malaysia and there are no literature easily available on these plants. Link to Post - Back to Top http://s4.images.proboards.com/ip.gif LoggedMy Wantlistjonathan

Haah... you come la... but bring souvenirs ok?

Anyway, I dont think people didnt not spot any drosera here. i think even if they see it, they wont know what it is, especially for D. indica, unless seen in bright sunlight, it'll look like some grass blade with dew all over...

Ok, how bout giving me the basic growing condition for d. indica (swamp, sandy soil, etc), so I can guess the most likely spot to
find them in.
