Drosera ‘Avaricious Arugula’ (Fig. 4) is a seed-grown plant from a small batch of seeds pollinated in early Spring of 2020. The seed plant of Drosera ‘Avaricious Arugula’ is a self-cross of the famous Drosera ‘Hercules’, and the pollen plant was a specimen of Drosera capensis from Bainskloof Pass, South Africa, making its genotype (D. ‘Hercules’ × Self) × D. capensis. The seeds of this cross were soaked in 0.01M hydroxylamine for three hours prior to being sowed on standard peat/perlite media.
Drosera‘Avaricious Arugula’是从2020年早春授粉的一小批种子中培育出来的品种。该品种是著名的Drosera‘Hercules’(大力神)自交代和花粉来自南非班斯克罗夫山口的Drosera capensis的杂交而出。即(D. ' Hercules ' × Self) × D. capensis。该杂交种子先在0.01M羟胺中浸泡3小时,然后播种在标准泥炭/珍珠岩培养基上。

Drosera ‘Avaricious Arugula’ is very vigorous and this specimen in particular grew to full size within six months, given weekly misting of MaxSea 16-16-16 fertilizer at 25% strength. The laminae of this plant are very thin and curly, even in high light conditions, and the entire surface of the leaf, both lamina and trap, is very wavy and almost ruffled at certain points. The width of the traps can exceed 1.5 cm and the laminae can measure up to 1 cm across. The plant is also anthocyanin free and largely glabrous. Another interesting tendency is that this plant forms many more aerial roots than any other of my specimens and cultivars of D. capensis, often holding between 4 and 6. Despite being in favorable conditions and growing rapidly, all of the flower spikes that this cultivar produces have been aborted, signifying that this cultivar is unable to flower.
Drosera ‘Avaricious Arugula’ 生长非常旺盛,特别是这个体,在每周以25%浓度喷洒MaxSea 16-16-16肥料的情况下,可以在6个月内长到完整的大小。该品种叶片非常薄且卷曲,即使在强光条件下,叶片的整个表面(包括叶柄和叶子),都呈波浪形,在某些地方还有皱褶。叶片陷阱部分的宽度可以超过 1.5 厘米,叶片下部的宽度可以达到 1 厘米。 该品种不含花青素且大部分无毛。另一个有趣的是,这种品种形成的气生根比我D. capensis任何其它个体的都要多,通常有4到6根。尽管生长条件良好,生长迅速,但该品种产生的所有花穗都已败育,表明该品种无法开花。

My largest specimen has caught the most insects out of all of my Drosera, retaining the carcasses until I remove them with forceps. This character inspired the word “Avaricious” in this cultivar’s name. The cultivar also reminded me of Arugula (Eruca vesicaria subsp. sativa) plants, with the warped leaves, hence the complete name of Drosera ‘Avaricious Arugula’.
我最大的一棵捕获了我所有茅膏菜中最多的昆虫,在我用钳子取出它们之前,它们的尸体一直保留在上面。这个特点使这个品种的名字中有了“贪婪”二字。这个品种也让我想起了芝麻菜(Eruca vesicaria subsp.)。因此,给该茅膏菜命名为“贪婪的芝麻菜”。

Since this plant does not produce viable flowers, vegetative propagation is required. I find the long roots Drosera ‘Avaricious Arugula’ produces strike easily and produce large plants in a matter of months. This cultivar also divides quite quickly, but due to the thin leaves, leaf cuttings often rot before they strike. Keeping specimens of this plant sitting in water is amenable because of how thin the leaves are, and specimens tend to grow faster in high-light, very humid environments. Despite this, they often succumb to root-rot so I advise a 2:3 peat:perlite mix. Specimens of Drosera ‘Avaricious Arugula’ have already been distributed to several growers and I plan on selling this cultivar in the coming fall.
由于该品种不能开花,所以需要无性繁殖。我发现这个品种是是一种比较容易烂根,但生长旺盛能在几个月长大的品种。它的繁殖速度也很快,但由于叶子很薄,叶插经常在它们出芽前之前腐烂。(…中间一段未翻译,应该是指适合水插,喜欢明亮光线高湿度…)。他们非常容易烂根,所以我建议2:3泥炭:珍珠岩混合。Drosera‘Avaricious Arugula’已经分发给几个种植者,我计划在明年秋天出售这个品种。
