OUCH!! Michael once told me at the Connecticut University greenhouses,
they commonly throw many orchid divisions out to the trash. Curtis Tom
writes to various botanical gardens and asks for their Nepenthes cuttings.
I heard he got a couple large 30 gallon plastic garbage bags full from
Leo Song.

One of the new Byblis liniflora forms may be legally described soon
as B. liniflora ssp. occidentalis. I think this may be the one now known
as B. liniflora (robust straggling plant from Darwin).
