The growlist he's referring to is part of the archive, someone meant to say
they grew Genlisea but somehow typed Cephalotus instead. I would be cautious
about adding them to your list Jan, if you include as nomina nuda every
misspelling/misstatement from people's growlists you will easily triple the
size of your list overnight! Someone who wants to give you a lot of work to
do could scramble scientific names of CP right now and add several hundred
monsters to the growlist and make your existing list a farce, it could be a
dangerous precedent IMHO. Why do I suddenly have the urge to add the names
"Nepenthes lamzakiana" and "Drosophyllum demetrium" to my growlist...:-)
