Quick Facts Drosera porrecta, Scientific classification ...

It was first formally described by Johann Georg Christian Lehmann in 1844, though its position as a subspecies of D. stolonifera has been published. Differences in morphology and the absence of hybrids between D. stolonifera and D. porrecta suggest the current species level designation is the most appropriate choice for this taxon.[1]
