ROSETTED question

[Noddy]

We all know there are ROSETTED forms of VFT

However is this a Cultivar or is it just a way the plant grows and can it be captured in a Cultivar.

If that makes sense...

I have a VFT called red rossetted, if that's what you mean. it's very small and hasn't really shown much rossett yet, but that's what it's called.

 

[blokeman]

They mean rosetted in the sense that the vft will not form tall thin summer leaves, it will make spring/autumn low lying ground-hugging traps all year long. It can only be 'captured as a cultivar' through vegetative reproduction (leaf pullings/TC)

Check Bob Zeimer's CP photofinder if you want to see pics of rosette cultivar vfts, if you're wondering why they're called rosetted.

In botany rosetted means:

A circular cluster of leaves that radiate from a center at or close to the ground, as in the dandelion.

All Dionaea are rosetted.

As far as an officially registered Dionaea cultivated variety, I think this one is the worst one that somehow made it through. However, the registration isn't complete because "the standard is missing". I think that NaN is right that it's simply a typical Dionaea. I have a ton of plants that fit this description quoted from the ICPS database:

The leaves are rosetted all year, with deep red interior traps.

Personally this isn't a plant that I consider remarkable enough to name and distribute as a cultivar.
