I got the new June issue of CPN yesterday. Here's a synopsis:

On the cover is a photo of Genlisea violacea growing in a clear
container. The traps can be easily seen. One the back cover is a
flowering Aldrovanda.

Articles:
"The Savage Garden", by Peter D'Amato
"The Truth About CPs is Hard To Find" by Thomas Hanley
"Heliamphora: The Nature of Its Nurture" by Don Schnell
Two articles by Lubomir Adamec from Czechoslovakia:
"Oxygen Budget in the Traps of U. australis", and "Photosynthetic
Inorganic Carbon Use by Aquatic CPs"
"S. flava Varieties:Do We Know What We Are Talking About?" by Don Schnell

In the literature review, there's a new Ping, P. greenwoodii, related to
P. jackii, described in the Kew Bulletin by Martin Cheek.
There's also a review of a new CP book, written in French, called
"L'Univers des Plantes Carnivores" ("Universe (or World) of Carnivorous
Plants). Price is around $90.

There's an ad for Dionaea 'Royal Red', wholesale only. A photo of the
plant is included. The ad does not mention if this clone is patented.

Included with the CPN is a seperate 4-page ad for two trips:

Venezuela: $4100/person, does not include air fare, 13 days to
Kunenan-, Chimanta-, Aprada-, And Auyan- tepuis.

Sumatra: $1990/person, does not include air fare, 13 days to
Gunung(s?) Pangulubao, Talang, Singgalang, and Tjampoo. N. tenuis will
try to be found.

Joachim Nerz will be the guide on both trips.
