    Technical Refereed Contribution Several pygmy Sundew species possess catapult-flypaper traps with repetitive function, indicating a possible evolutionary change into aquatic snap traps similar to Aldrovanda Siegfried R. H. Hartmeyer and Irmgard Hartmeyer • Weil am Rhein • Germany • s.hartmeyer@ t-online.de • www.hartmeyer.de Keywords: Drosera, pygmy Sundew, Aldrovanda, Dionaea, Droseraceae, Collembola, carnivorous plant, catapult-flypaper trap, snap trap, snap-tentacle, functional morphology, phylogeny. Abstract: Approximately 50 species of pygmy Sundews (genus Drosera, section Bryastrum) occur in the South of Australia and one each in New Zealand (D. pygmaea) and Venezuela (D. meristo- caulis). They grow mainly as small stemless rosettes possessing minute trapping leaves of 1-2 mm diameter with prominent marginal tentacles, or have elongated erect stems. The caulescent species possess only mucus-producing tentacles that are most effective in capturing small flying insects. The acaulescent species in contrast are specialized on crawling prey (Verbeek & Boasson 1993) and have developed mucus-free snap-tentacles (Fig. 1), able to bend surprisingly rapidly towards the leaf center. They lift prey like, e.g. springtails (Collembola) from the ground and carry it with a 180°-movement from the periphery of the plant onto the sticky leaf. Our examinations brought to light that several small species of section Bryastrum are able to catapult small animals even within fractions of a second. If the whole leaf is touched, several or even all marginal tentacles perform such bending movements simultaneously. We documented this behavior on video, featured on our film “Catapults in Pygmyland” on YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k7GYGibdjM). Our results prove that more than only one species in the genus Drosera possess rapidly moving catapult-flypaper traps and that the examined pygmy catapults show a further specialization and function repeatedly (in contrast to the one-shot snap tentacles of D.

    Growing Drosera murfetii Mark S. Anderson • Vancouver • Washington • USA • [email protected] In the few years since Drosera murfetii has become separated from Drosera arcturi as a new species it has become available to growers, though it is certainly not available everywhere. I feel it is sufficiently unusual and interesting to deserve a place in many carnivorous plant collections. I began growing this species several years ago when a generous group of friends gave me a plant, along with an implied “Good luck!” since little was known about its culture. Here are some of my experiences and thoughts about keeping this fascinating species alive and, maybe, thriving. Drosera murfetii is an odd-ball among sundews (Back Cover). With its strange simple-looking leaves with tentacled ends D. murfetii looks like nothing else, other than D. arcturi. It has been called D. arcturi “giant form” before it was given species status. The leaves are spear-shaped with a pro- nounced mid-rib and are sometimes completely without tentacles (Fig. 1). They have a ‘v’-shaped cross section, the two longitudinal sides separating as the leaf develops. Not very sundew- like. What is very much as you would expect is the tentacles. These grow along the upper surface of the leaf from 1/3 to 2/3 of the length farthest from the main plant and extending to the tip. Another strange thing about this species is the tentacles along the edges generally bend around the leaf to the back side of it. An adaptation al- Figure 1: Drosera murfetii. lowing the plant to catch insects crawl- ing up or landing on this side of the leaf? Drosera murfetii plants generally will have fewer leaves than are common with other Drosera and plants with only one leaf, or none, are not uncommon.

Abstract: Cape Sundew (Drosera capensis), a carnivorous plant that catches flies with sticky mu- cus, has attracted great interest among botanists and horticulture hobbyists since the Darwin era. But little is known about how this carnivorous plant regulates morphogenesis and organ formation to accommodate environmental changes. In this article we present the relationship between gland secretion of Cape Sundew and photoperiod utilizing various physiological and morphological meth- ods. We show that Cape Sundew grows faster and secretes more mucus under long days than under short days. Under long days leaf length and the blade\petiole ratio increases, leading to increased fly catching capacities. More importantly, in the short term, the rhythm of photoperiod causes Cape Sundew to secrete mucus independent of photo intensity. Introduction As one of the most special plant groups, carnivorous plants perform photosynthesis and feed on insects and some large carnivorous plants even prey on birds and small mammals. Darwin believed that a carnivorous plant was one of the most astonishing phenomena in the world (Dar- win 1875; Ellison & Gotelli 2009). Carnivorous plants are represented by more than 600 species belonging to 20 genera (Ellison & Gotelli 2001; McPherson 2010).

    Department for Environment and Heritage Management Plan Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park 2006 www.environment.sa.gov.au This plan of management was adopted on 11 January 2006 and was prepared in pursuance of section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. Government of South Australia Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2006 ISBN: 1 921018 887 Front cover photograph courtesy of Bernd Stoecker FRPS and reproduced with his permission This document may be cited as “Department for Environment and Heritage (2006) Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia” FOREWORD Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park is located approximately 80 kilometres north-east of Adelaide and approximately 12 kilometres south-east of Tanunda, in the northern Mount Lofty Ranges. The 392 hectare park was proclaimed in 1979 to conserve a remnant block of native vegetation, in particular the northern-most population of Brown Stringybark (Eucalyptus baxteri). Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park preserves a substantial number of habitats for native fauna and helps to protect the soil and watershed of Tanunda Creek. More than 360 species of native plant are found within the reserve, many of which are of conservation significance. Bird species of conservation significance recorded within the reserve include the Diamond Firetail, White-browed Treecreeper, Elegant Parrot and Crescent Honeyeater. Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park also has a rich cultural heritage. The reserve is of significance to the Peramangk people and Ngadjuri people who have traditional associations with the land. Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park has also been a valuable source of material for botanical research. Dr Ferdinand von Mueller and Dr Hans Herman Behr collected Barossa Ranges plants from the area between 1844 and 1851.

Płachno1 & Małgorzata Stpiczyńska 2 & Piotr Świątek3 & Hans Lambers4 & Gregory R. Cawthray4 & Francis J. Nge5 & Saura R. Silva6 & Vitor F. O. Miranda6 Received: 1 April 2019 /Accepted: 4 June 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Utricularia (Lentibulariaceae) is a genus comprising around 240 species of herbaceous, carnivorous plants. Utricularia is usually viewed as an insect-pollinated genus, with the exception of a few bird-pollinated species. The bladderworts Utricularia multifida and U. tenella are interesting species because they represent an early evolutionary Utricularia branch and have some unusual morphological characters in their traps and calyx. Thus, our aims were to (i) determine whether the nectar sugar concentrations andcompositioninU. multifida and U. tenella are similar to those of other Utricularia species from the subgenera Polypompholyx and Utricularia, (ii) compare the nectary structure of U. multifida and U. tenella with those of other Utricularia species, and (iii) determine whether U. multifida and U. tenella use some of their floral trichomes as an alternative food reward for pollinators. We used light microscopy, histochemistry, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy to address those aims. The concentration and composition of nectar sugars were analysed using high-performance liquid chroma- tography. In all of the examined species, the floral nectary consisted of a spur bearing glandular trichomes. The spur produced and stored the nectar. We detected hexose-dominated (fructose + glucose) nectar in U. multifida and U. tenella as well as in U.
