Just received a letter from Paul Kane of Melbourne which stated the following
apparent official names for:

D. stolonifera ssp. monticola (= "Alpine Form")
D. browniana (= D. sp. "Forrestiana")
D. grieviii (=D. sp. "Baanga Hill")
D. seargentii (=D. sp. "Esperance")
D. stellaflora (= D. enodes (Jindong))

Barry: the D. intermedia (Cuba) is apparently from Cuba. My seed was obtained
from Gert (of Holland) who received his stock (directly?) from Harald
Weiner of Germany (now in Kenya). Harald probably collected seed or plants
from its native Cuba, as Kondo's book has several pictures of Cuban Drosera
and Pings. in habitus and cites photographic credit to Harald.

The N. anamensis is probably the true species as my plant showed
identical pitcher characteristic with that from a German source. My
plant was originally obtained indirectly from Orgel Bramblet of Miami.
