D. x rotensis is a hybrid named after a suggestion that appeared
some years ago in CPN. It is ROTundifolia x capENSIS.
The article suggested a uniform naming strategy for Drosera hybrids
using parts of the names of the two parent plants.
Another in this vein is _D. x linthulata_ (linearis x spathulata).

P: HIST.PL.REMARQ.BRES.& PAR.1:267 (1824)
