Hi all,
The chromosome counts for all three species are recorded to be 2n = 30.
If Drosera schizandra is a *fertile* hybrid, then it may be an example of
interspecific fertility as in the D. petiolaris complex. Another thing I
think should first be considered is this: Has anyone ever seen seed from
D. schizandra?
