New Pygmy Drosera

[picrophyll]

After a wait of nearly 12 months, my description of a new pygmy Drosera, it has finally been published.
Dedicated to Dr Robert Gibson for his huge contribution to the CP world and up until now hasn't received the accolades due to him.

D. gibsonii is closely related to D. silvicola and fits into the D. scorpioides, lasiantha. The foliage is very red and the mauve flowers are beautiful.

A full description can be found here:-

I see that the D. gibsonii has already made Wikipedia:

Good job! Very good job, indeed.
I hope it will eventually be introduced into cultivation. Not yet, of course.


Yes, I agree with Bob! We need photos!
