          Dear All,

          OK so Proboscidea is not carnivorous in the strictest sense
          just another sticky leafed plant. However I have got 4
          seedlings to germinate after about 2.5 weeks following Allen
          Lowries protocol, shaving the seed coat to expose the
          endosperm and soaking in GA solution for 24hr as for Byblis
          gigantea.

          I would appreciate any advise on the culture of this plant
          and recommendations on the best compost to grow them in as
          this is the first contact I have had with this species.

          thanks

          Loyd
