Hi all, Ivan here,
OK, you are right. I did not think of this point. So now, all
possibilities having been explored, the truth must be that Byblis
liniflora is a carnivorous plant. Perhaps the simple testing method using
photographic film was not sensitive enough to detect the small amount of
enzyme produced by the thin leaves.

Good one Barry, very humorous. That reminds me, have you all tried
sleeping with your plants? I had a pesky mosquito in my room the other
night so I put a plant on my bed stand near my face to catch the bugger.
I then slept very well that night and woke up feeling like a new man. You
ought to try it, ...trust me:-)
