Non-carnivorous Drosera scorpioides leaves

Smilodonichthys

Smilodonichthys

Carnivorous Plant Addict
This is what emerged from the gemmae. Has anyone seen leaves like this on pygmy Drosera?:

Strange, perhaps or maybe try some A-sexual reproduction. I'd keep it and try to cross it with something as well, like another one of it's siblings. Could turn out interesting. How the breeding stuff works with the DNA life is: first there are parents lets say, hard working ones, lets say red the father and greed,.. haired the mother. They have some kids that are 50% roughly made of the father and 50% roughly the mother from looks to behavior. The,.. all these babies generally look the same act the same. dominance is observed/genes - all have red hair... for example. (mother and father have hidden genes not visible in the wats called phenotype, so the father/mother lets assume father has red hair and contains invisible black *genes*. the mother has green hair and blond genes invisible not showing in the mother) So the first generation or filial - offspring, as it is called will all have the dominant color lets assume red is dominant. Then,.. they mate together - from this the ~couples will produce 50 % red hair or blond hair. (originally all the offspring will have blake(yup) or red hair, lets assume red. ) now,.. you take these offspring that you want to breed together lets say all red hair they turn out to be. after the offspring interbreeding, all red hair breed together, you'll get 75% with red hair and 25% with blond, black, or green hair or a mix. But any further breeding outside the siblings, will change the color of the offspring's hair(, if bred to another same species plant -they should all look like the other plant for the most part.) anyway you have to keep breeding offspring with the wanted traits or else start the process over again - a cross as it's called, done usually for vigor reasons. the formulation for dominance and recessive genes is in the picture:

Well it's all you need to know - 'Shiver me timbers, look it's land a-hoy''. Arr, breeding the guppies was the way..

These were a couple of the breeds I raised. I didn't create them but bred them. I don't do these any more.

I always like a good Punnett square. I think I'll have to wait and see what it does before I start thinking about that. Nice of you to put in the effort into explaining it anyway. I will always be fascinated about how all of that works.

Many non carnivorous plants have glandular trichomes as well. In fact it’s thought that those eventually evolved to carnivory in some lineages.
Anyway I still don’t think this is a drosera.

Absolutely. I have seen glandular trichomes on many plants. Often they are a key feature in identification. I was just mentioning that they look similar to Drosera emergences on this plant. I agree that this is likely not a Drosera.
