Great colour, nice to see in habitat Cheers Steve Incredible red color, so striking to see! I couldn't agree more. About the 5th to 9th photos If someone fooled me into saying that those pictures were taken in Japan, I would think of Drosera in the fifth picture as D. spatulata and Drosera in the 6th to 9th pictures as D. tokaiensis. Do you have a photo of Drosera in the 5th photo taken from above? What I mean is petioles, not colors. The boundary between the lamina and petiole of Drosera in the fifth photo looks ambiguous. The other Drosera has rounded lamina, and the boundary between the lamina and petiole can be seen more clearly. I wonder it shows the same appearance as its own habitat even in cultivation. I wonder those seeds look the same. They are all beautiful plants! Thanks for sharing! |

The petiole shape is distinct still between nearly any spatulata form and tokaiensis; the latter tends to taper, rather than remain parallel, along its length, while spatulata nearly always has a parallel structure..
The NZ spatulata however (some forms, at least) probably should be returned to the separate status they used to have, considering the difference in morphology and chromosome count they have.

As said above, drosera tolkaiensis has a longer petiole. This comes from its rotundifolia parentage. Drosera tolkaiensis is Drosera spatulata x rotundifolia. Most Drosera spatulatas have a much smaller petiole.

Most Drosera spatulatas have a much smaller petiole. D. *tokaiensis* is not a hybrid. It's descended from one (currently labeled as var. hyugaensis but should be a separate taxon), but being a stable established polyploid it's a distinct species just as D. anglica is. |
