I think there is several chemicals release by the gum trees also involed, with some non CP natives, heat itself.
I have seen the SA version of the stricticularis in cultivation, once. An ACPS member from Port Lincolin brought pot in several years ago. It smaller in all parts than it WA counterpart. It found in one swamp south of the Airport. He reported it took 5 years to reach heigh of about 11cm. I have heard a rumour of Drosera ramellosa in the very tip of Eyre Peniusla.
Anyone got seeds of stricticularis ?
