Q: Drosophyllum: various types

A: Drosophyllum lusitanicum (L.) Link is the only species in its genus. As far as I have seen, all the plants in cultivation are essentially identical, with no significant variation. Field photographs often show plants that are much redder or with somewhat flattened leaf-bases, but I think these details are only a result of the plants luxuriating in ideal conditions.

There are no established Drosophyllum cultivars.
