“…Despite earlier (erroneous) mentions of D. finlaysoniana from Laos (Barrett & Lowrie 2013; who do not cite any vouchers from the country), India (Lowrie 2014, Lowrie et al 2017b, southern Japan (Lowrie et al 2017b) and the Philippines (Lowrie et al 2017b), no herbarium specimens or observation data of that species could be traced from any of these four countries. We therefore conclude that D. finlaysoniana is absent from India, Cambodia, Laos and Japan, although its presence in the Philippines cannot be excluded considering the rather poor botanical exploration of some remote Philippine islands, and in the light of recent Drosera range extensions following floristic surveys (Fleischmann & Coritico 2016, Robinson in Lowrie et al 2017b. A single questionable herbarium record exists from Thailand, from today's Prachuap Khiri Khan Province (a duplicate of Collins 1621 at P), however the collection site does not match typical habitat for the species, and no further records of D. finlaysoniana exist from any nearby area in Thailand, nor the same site, which is a touristic and frequently visited spot today.…”

A new annual species of Drosera section Arachnopus, Drosera margaritacea, from the western Kimberley region (Western Australia) is described and illustrated, including detailed comparisons with the morphologically most similar species, D. finlaysoniana. The latter name is lectotypified here. The global range of D. finlaysoniana is provided, including a doubtful first record for Thailand, while the species, in contrast with statements made in some published references, does not occur in India, Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines. Additionally, the first record from Indonesia of the frequently misidentified D. aquatica is reported.

“…30-45% of its forest cover due to illegal logging and land conversion for agriculture and human settlement. Sphagnum bog was observed at about 1,877 masl which is the habitat of a unique carnivorous plants Drosera rotundifolia L., a new record for the Philippines (Coritico & Fleischmann, 2016) and two recently described pitcher plants (Gronemeyer et al, 2014). In this study, the classification of forest types was based on Fernando et al (2008).…”

Diversity of trees and structure of forest habitat types in Mt. Tago Range, Mindanao, Philippines

Mt. Tago Range in Bukidnon has been subjected to deforestation and forest fragmentation due to logging ca. 35–40 years ago or as direct result of land conversion for agriculture, human settlements and wildlife product harvesting. It is currently not a protected area. This study aimed to provide data on the tree species diversity, structure, composition, conservation status and threats of the forest habitats in the site. Tree survey in the range was conducted in 2018–2019 using thirty-nine 20 x 20 m sampling plots and six one-kilometer transect lines. A total of 1,032 tree individuals from 54 families, 85 genera and 121 species were documented. The site is composed of four tropical forest habitat types namely: lower montane rainforest, upper montane rainforest, mossy-pygmy and forest over ultramafic rocks. These forest habitats also differed in species composition, elevation, substrate, dominance and structure in terms of height and diameter at breast height. The highest diversity index was observed in the mid-elevation and decreasing toward the peak. The diversity pattern herein is attributed to elevation, forest degradation due to anthropogenic activities and nature of habitat. The most abundant families were the Myrtaceae (23%), Podocarpaceae (12.8%) and Fagaceae (12.6%). At the family level the most dominant taxa included the Moraceae (8.7%), Rubiaceae (6.5%) and Myrtaceae (5.8%). Highest importance value index (IVI) in all forest types fell within the range of IVI’s for tropical forests. Assessment of conservation and ecological status revealed that 11 species (8%) are threatened, 28 (22%) Least Concern (LC) and 16 (12%) are Philippine endemics. Threats to tree diversity in Mt. Tago Range included land conversion for agriculture and settlement, illegal logging and lack of legislative protection. The implementation of conservation strategies by stakeholders is recommended to protect the tree species communities and population across the forest habitat types in the site.

“…Drosera rotundifolia is naturally distributed mostly in temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere, mainly in the north of Europe, Asia and North America (Webb, ; Lu & Kondo, ; Mellichamp, ). It also has populations in New Guinea and the Philippines (Coritico & Fleischmann, ). It is highly adapted to microclimatic conditions of peatlands (continuously moist acid soils poor in nutrients); however, it avoids places with perennial standing water.…”

First report of alien Drosera rotundifolia in a high conservation value Patagonian peat bog

Summary Drosera L. (Droseraceae) is a genus of insectivorous plants distributed worldwide with 240 species, 40 of which are found in South America. In the temperate forests of Chile and Argentina the only species present is D. uniflora. In a peat bog in Nahuel Huapi National Park, Argentina, a new species of Drosera was found in February 2018. To identify the species, we used morphological characters, and in addition, we sequenced two individuals for the nuclear region ITS and the chloroplast gene rbcL. Other Drosera sequences for these molecular regions were downloaded from GenBank, and a phylogenetic analysis was done to confirm the morphological identification of the Patagonian individuals. Morphologically and genetically, the species found in Nahuel Huapi is D. rotundifolia, a mostly Northern Hemisphere species. This is an alien species to the region and is thought to have been transported to the bog by tourists that visit the area. The presence of an exotic species represents a threat to this particular ecosystem with high conservation value. Currently, the National Park is taking control actions order to remove all individuals of the recently detected species. This study represents the first report of an alien species of Drosera in southern South America growing in the wild. This potentially invasive species may not only have negative impacts on the natural peat bog habitats in southern Argentina and Chile, but may also reach bogs in other temperate parts of the world.
