Drosera amazonica in situ

Hello

Before our Akopan Tepui expedition, we took a chance to visit the Drosera amazonica habitats northwest of Manaus, Brazil. It was probably the first visit to the site since the discovery of this species. 

We were lucky to make a little discovery there, finding Utricularia tenuissima growing next to the other two species reported by Fernando Rivadavia (D. amazonica + U. subulata). Another species to add to the overall habitat report 

Many thanks to Fernando for providing us with the GPS data of the habitats!

Hi Mateusz. 

 

Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures! Nice to see some new in situ pictures of D. amazonica. 

Can you say something about the size of the habitat of this species? In your second picture, it looks like the plants are growing nearly everywhere, which would be great. But of course it's quite hard to estimate the real size of the habitat from a single picture. 

 

Greetings, 

Nils

We visited 2 habitats - one smaller, and one bigger. They were both hidden behind a few hundred meters of thick rainforest vegetation growing along the banks of Rio Cuieiras tributaries what makes them very hard to find without knowing the exact GPS data. The first site was more "boggy" and vegetated than the second one, with most of the plants growing together with grass and small shrubs. The second one was a much more exposed, sandy patch submerged in very shallow water.

Both locations had many plants growing all around, but the second one was especially spectacular - Yo could see thousands of Droseras growing everywhere. More pictures will follow soon.

 

Cheers
