Quick Facts Drosera finlaysoniana, Scientific classification ...

D. finlaysoniana was described (as D. Finlaysoni) by Nathaniel Wallich in 1837.[4][5] The original specific epithet, Finlaysoni, honoured George Finlayson, who collected the specimen described by Wallich from Turow Bay, Cochin China.[5] The name, D. finlaysoniana, is accepted by Australian authorities.[4][6][7][8] and by Plants of the World Online,[9] and WCSP,[10] but not by World Flora Online.[11] For some time, this species was considered synonymous with D. indica, but in 2013 Russell Barrett & Allen Lowrie resurrected it, noting that

  1. "the stalked glandular hairs at the base of the (leaf) lamina do not reach all the way to the stem"
  2. "there are only a few short, simple hairs among the glandular hairs at the base of the lamina"
  3. "anthers are classed as normal, not hooded or dilated"
  4. "seeds have a distinctly reticulate surface" and
  5. are "relatively small".[12]
