A big lake bed:
We arrived and fanned out. I investigated the GPS point I had been given by another researcher, but verified that it was
merely the
approximate center for the dried lake bed. Meanwhile, the others followed their instincts and looked for
suitable habitat, GPS coordinates be damned. It was a good strategy--by the time I rejoined them, they had already found the
population of
red Drosera filiformis!
Growing along with the Drosera filiformis was
Drosera capillaris, looking quite normal
and not at all like "long-leafed" plants of Florida that confound simply classification.
