Hi there,
I know there are many different forms of D.Capillaris such as the Florida,Long Arm & Red form etc. But which form lives in the Carolinas?
If someone could let me know that would be great!
Jonathan

There are no official forms of D. capillaris, certainly any different color variations can be found in nearly any population. The Long Arm variety is somewhat unique, some think it may actually be a polyploid hybrid with D. intermedia (and certainly often looks like one), but is rarely found outside Florida and adjacent states. In the Carolinas you'll find the typical rosetted, decumbent plants.

I thought there was different forms for different areas of the world. So you are saying that the Florida form can also be found in the Carolinas? I am asking because I am trying to make a Carolinian Bog garden outside here in British Columbia Canada and I am a stickler for it to be as accurate as possible to the real Carolinian bog.
Let me know,
Thanks for the response!

From what i have seen the only true form different from the normal plants is the long arm form, but as hcarlton said it is rarely found outside of Florida. From what i have heard the only D. capillaris form in the carolinas is the typical form.

Which form would be the Typical form? The red form? The giant form? or something else?

As far as I know all forms of D. capillaris are red save the alba form, the typical form is just that, small decumbent, and red under high light. Just google D. capillaris typical

The only special things about capillaris from different localities, aside from occasional slight variations in shape or size, is the fact that they are from different locations. They look the same as ones from other locales (say, capillaris from North Carolina will look a lot like capillaris from Venezuela), but are different genetically just because they come from different locations. The only exception is, again, the Long Arm form or any anthocyanin free form that may be found.

Does anyone here know where I can get the "Typical" Form of D.Capillaris seeds then?

If you find out, let me know. I've been looking for them too..... such a common species, yet never seem to find correctly labeled plants available...

I have D. capillaris I grew from seed three years ago, seed acquired from ICPS store. Several of my plants have mature seed stalks on them, I think....

T The Long Arm variety is somewhat unique, some think it may actually be a polyploid hybrid with D. intermedia (and certainly often looks like one), If I am not mistaken Ivan Snyder pretty much disproved a hybrid nature in this "form". |

Can't remember where it was, but I recall research done somewhere that discovered larger cells and in some plants a doubled set of chromosomes that would suggest such a thing, but certainly within natural variation there is possibility for any species to produce aberrant populations.... sundews are especially known for that....
Paul, if your plants are the typical ground-hugging form, I'd love to get even a small number of seeds.... there are a number of hybrids that I have to remake, since my "capillaris" all turned out to be tokaiensis....
