Hi all involved or interested in _Drosera_ nomenclature / systematics!
There are *important* news in the _D.citrina_/_D.chrysochila_
controversy. I have now the date of effective publication of PHYTOLOGIA
73(2), which includes the protologue of _D.citrina_ by A. Lowrie and S.
Carlquist. This was on OCTOBER 7TH, 1992 (and *NOT* in AUGUST 1992!).
As DER PALMENGARTEN 1992(3) appeared at least *one week earlier*,
including the protologue of _D.chrysochila_ by myself (J. Schlauer),
this name takes precedence over _D.citrina_ being obviously synonymous,
although based on a different TYPE.
Barry: *sorry*, but you+ll have to rename your plants, again!
Kind regards and happy growing!
Jan
