Default Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)

I just check Lowrie's CP of Aust. Vol.2, it full species name is mouthfull it is Shining x Western pygmy sundew nitidula ssp. omissa x occidentalis ssp. occidentalis. It originally came from the edge of a lake just north of Perth, Western Australia.
All natural pygmy hybrids are sterile and reproduced through gemmae. A clue to see if a pygmy is a hybrid is check the flower for red stigma, which it get from it's nitidula parent.
