The number of _Dionaea_ is known, but I don't have the data at hand. You
won't try to X it with another genus (_Philodendron_), will you?. For
identification purposes, there is some way without counting chromosomes...
8-)
_D.rotundifolia_: 2n=20
_D.capillaris_: 2n=20
_D.spatulata_: 2n=40(/60) (depending on clone; some plants IDed _D.s._ are
possibly not this species but hybrids)
_S.purpurea_ (including S.venosa as a ssp.): 2n=(24/)26
_S.flava_ (and all other _S._ spp.): 2n=26
Kind regards
