Don,

>Why isn't
>D. peltata ssp. auriculata mentioned in volume 1?

It seems the author spares most (problematic &) non-SW-Australian species
for the 3rd volume.

>What is the story of
>D. barbigera / D. silvicola? The plant in volume 2, called D. barbigera,
>I understand is actually D. silvicola, and looks similar to my plants
>of D. silvicola. The World CP List shows that both D. barbigera and
>D. silvicola are valid names.

_D.silvicola_ was described/considered distinct after publication of vol.2.

> Also, in volume 2, D. pygmaea is described

Are your plants from SE Australia? Anther colour is not necessarily constant.

Kind regards
