the preferred name. I thought _N. eymai_ was correct.

Literature Review:
Published article by Schnell validates the name _S. purpurea (L) ssp. venosa
(Raf) (Wherry) var. burkii (Schnell)_. [Need a yardstick to fit that name
on a label] -- Rhodera 95:6-10.
Published article by Martin Cheek validates some hybrid _Drosera_ names:
_D. x nagamotoi_, _D. x californica_, and _D. x badgerupii_ -- The Kew
Magazine 10:138-144.
James Reveal's article in Phytologia 74:180-184 attempts to rename the
two subspecies of _S. purpurea_ as 'var. terrae-novae' and 'var. purpurea'.
_U. beaugleholei_ is a new species described by R.J. Gassin in Muelleria
8:37-42.
