Hi,

Yes, the first one is Drosera burmanii

Hi Joseph,

Are you sure you do not have #2 and #4 mixed up?

The seed of intermedia is significantly coarse and bumpy, as in pic #4, and not as elongated as those in #2.

According to the key, #2 looks like anglica and #4 like intermedia. I could see #4 being capillaris (the surface texture is not as highly obvious) but the ID on #2 is seems doubtfull to me.

take care.

<span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>Yes, you are correct #2 does not appear to be Drosera intermedia, it was orphan seed, it was earlier separated from its parent plant and kept without a label. It may be Drosera anglica. I will need to match it to correctly identified seed to be sure.

Happy holidays everyone.</span>

You were correct. Seed #2 is Drosera anglica.

Revised Key:

1 = Drosera spatulata 'Ruby Slippers' (Name Pending)
2 = Drosera anglica
3 = Drosera spatulata (Kansai type) same as 5
4 = Drosera capillaris (green plant, white flower)
5 = Drosera spatulata (Kansai type) same as 3

Here are several different Drosera intermedia{/i] seed to compare:
