G. violacea pollination

One of my G. violacea is sending up a flower stalk again. Is this species
autogamous, or do I have to pollinate it (selfing or outcrossing)to get
seeds? Last time it flowered, it set no seeds, but this may be due to poor
growing conditions.

What about creating a database with information on reproductive biology of
the different carnivorous plant genera and species (and possibly also
clones). This idea is not mine, I have read some ideas of such a database
somewhere else, but I can't remember where and when. If such information
already is available, could you please point me to it. Otherwise, I could do
some work on organising such information. I am mainly interested in the
Lentibulariaceae, and hopefully someone else could concentrate on the other
genera.

Kind regards
