Drosera (Droseraceae). D. capensis germ. 100% in 10-12 d in 70L and 70D(none) for seeds up to 2 y DS. Seeds DS 3 y and 4 y germ. 70L(50% in 4th w) and 70D(none). About half the seeds appeared to have died between 2 and 3 y DS, but it is difficult to get acccurate percent germinations with such small seeds. The slowing of the germination rate is accurate and is a more reliable indicator that there has been some deterioration in the seeds.
