Konnichiwa!

Mr. Allen Lowrie & Dr. John G. Conran described Byblis guehoi mega multi-branching habit in the wild in their paper.

I have been growing Byblis guehoi since 2006. Byblis guehoi plants always branch in my cultivation. Check out my Byblis guehoi producing new additional growing points from the basal areas of the main stem in photos 15,16,17 & 18.
This branching habit is normal for this species.

Photo 15 & 16:This particular Byblis guehoi plant was sown in plug tray on February 25, 2009. The plant was transplanted to its larger pot on April 12, 2009.

Photo 17 & 18:This Byblis guehoi plant was sown in plug tray on February 20, 2009. The plant was transplanted to its larger pot on April 8, 2009.

Photo 19: Note the branching habit of another tropical Byblis species in my cultivation.
The plant was sown in plug tray on February 20, 2009 and transplanted to its larger pot on April 8, 2009.

The other day Mr. Allen Lowrie sent me a few photos of Byblis guehoi growing at a second location with Byblis rorida in the wild east of Broome. Please see photos 20, 21 & 22. I was very surprised again because of its mega multi-branching foliage habit in the wild.
Byblis guehoi is an absolutely phenomenal species!!!
