bomdia foristas,
I found a strange looking Drosera here in French Guyana : I found the plant in a grassy savana. the soil is podzolized : it's made of very thin sand and loam particles. most of the savana is covered with a thin layer of water during the rain season (january to july).
the Drosera lives in the most dry places.
vegetation is composed by :
- Grasses : Poaceae, Cyperaceae
- Trees : Malastomaceae
there are also some Lycopods, some Clusia, and Utricularia
in this savana I found Drosera capillaris Poiret ; here is a picture of a plant (click to enlarge)
here is a picture of the strange looking plant : it have more hair near to the stips of the leaves, it also look different from D.capillaris in my eyes : stips are larger and shorter...the leaves are all sticked to the soil, and this is very different from the D.capillaris wich grow on the same site : thoose have up-raised leaves...I haven't seen the flower, and I never saw this plant again in this savana, in 3 years...
what do you think ? is it my imagination, or is it a different species from D.capillaris ?
Do you know of all the rare CP species growing in the 3 guyanas??
