Jorg-Michael,
A friend of mine (Joachim Nerz) has tried _Byblis_ for some time from seed
without much success until he tried gibberellin. A treatment of the seeds with
extraordinally high concentrations (1 mg/l in water: this is *absolutely*
killing in vitro, normally!) promoted germination to a significant extent.
So I'd recommend to try this. Allen Lowrie has reported (pers. comm.) success
with the gibberellin treatment in _Byblis_ (also, very high concentrations).

Happy growing
Kind regards
Jan
