Hey Folks
Interesting threads on the listserve!
Toxic Dionaea:
Jan, your quoted concentrations of toxins in Dionaea are quite low. This
is interesting to me because I was wondering about the toxin levels in
"Carnivora", which is an "extract" of Dionaea that some people sell. I
don't know if the plumbagin survives the extraction process, or if it is
more concentrated in the extract.
Bird Dispersal:
Don't forget that some Utricularia produce tiny tubers: U. inflata, for
example.
