byblis


Question
i have some byblis seeds and i lost the name tag. can you tell me the difference between liniflora seeds and gigantea seeds?

Answer
Hi Shane,

Good timing, since before about 2 weeks ago I had not ever had any Byblis gigantea seeds, and I just got some.

B. liniflora seeds are very tiny and very round.  They actually roll quite nicely.  B. gigantea seeds are larger (relatively speaking; they're still quite small), and have a marked rough texture.  Use a hand-lens to look at them, but the gigantea seeds will be noticeably larger.  Overall it's a much larger plant.  B. gigantea seeds are somewhat similar to Drosophyllum.

Good Growing!
