Dear five-hundred-or-so sundew lovers,

For those of you who have not yet seen it:

Lowrie, A.: _Drosera kenneallyi_ (Droseraceae), a new tropical species of
carnivorous plant from the Kimberley, northern Western Australia, Nuytsia
10(3):419-423 (25.1.1996).

l.c.:420:"_Drosera falconeri_ Kondo & Tsang affinis sed petiolo anguste
oblanceolato 1.5-2.2 mm lato, lamina 5.5-7 mm lata, scapo (inflorescentia
includenti) 12.5-20.5 cm longo.
Typus: 9 km N of mining camp on track to Port Warrender, Mitchell Plateau,
N Kimberley, Western Australia, lat. 14 deg 46 min S 125 deg 48 min E,
K.F.Kenneally 8658, 7 December 1982 (holo: PERTH 01612808; iso: CANB,
MEL)."

Lowrie still uses the name D.dilatatopetiolaris (i.e. he cuts the older
name _D.fulva_, which is probably applicable here), and thinks (rather
contrary to at least my opinion) that _D.neocaledonica_ (Lowrie uses the
later synonym D.caledonica) belongs to Lasiocephala (the petiolaris-group).

Kind regards
Jan
