Owned by Dr0sera Butterwort (@Dr0sera_Butterwort).

Notes

Distinct dark purple/burgundy longitudinal pencil-veins running through translucent lime-to-pink leaves.Trap Architecture & Diagnostic Features: Adhesive flypaper trap displaying marked hybrid vigor. It forms a compact, symmetrical, star-shaped rosette of fleshy leaves. Unlike plain green butterworts, this hybrid inherits distinct, dark purple-burgundy longitudinal venation from P. emarginata that traces through translucent lime-green to dusty-pink leaf tissue. The upper leaf surface is densely populated by stalked glandular trichomes glistening with viscous mucilage beads to catch…
