03B587A6E53E8D1830304D8DFB73F786.taxon	description	Perennial herb, shortly caulescent. Stems 3 – 4 (up to 7) cm long, 1 – 2.5 mm diam, densely pilose (Fig. 4 b). Leaves alternate, clustered at the apex and erect, basally more widely spaced and more or less reflexed; stipules 2 – 4.5 mm long, membra- nous, ferrugineous, lacerated at the apex; lamina obovate to spathulate, 4 – 12 by 3 – 6 mm, the adaxial surface and margins bearing tentacles, abaxially pilose (Fig. 4 a); petiole 5 – 12 by 0.5 – 1 mm, flat, densely pilose. Inflorescence cymose, with 2 – 8 flowers; peduncles 1 or 2 together, 10 – 17 cm long, completely erect, basally glandular and pilose to densely pilose, apically glandular; bracts almost linear, 2 – 3 mm long, glandular or pi- lose; pedicels 2 – 7 mm long, glandular. Sepals 5, lanceolate to ovate, 3 – 4.5 by 1.5 – 2 mm, connate at the base, occasionally apex serrate, glandular. Petals 5, obovate, 5 – 7 by c. 4 mm, bright pink. Stamens 5, filaments 3 – 4 mm long. Pistil: ovary subglobose, 2 – 3 mm diam, glabrous; styles 3, c. 2 mm long, bipartite to the base, branches ascending, with broadened apices. Seeds suborbicular to ovoid, c. 0.3 by 0.2 mm (Fig. 4 e), black, shining, testa smooth. Distribution — Angola, DRC, Zambia (Fig. 4 c). Habitat & Ecology — Grassy wetlands, upland plateaus.

Note — Drosera compacta is widely accepted as a synonym of D. bequaertii. Both type specimens show many similarities but differ in leaf arrangement (densely vs more openly arranged) and scape indumentum (basally densely pilose vs glandular and pilose). Since this species is only infrequently documented (Robinson et al. 2017) and only few specimens were studied, no comment can be made on separating both taxa. Here, a more detailed analysis is required.	en	Rjosk, A., Neinhuis, C., Monizi, M., Lautenschläger, T.

Note — This species has been treated as a synonym of D. affinis in several Floras (Laundon 1959, 1970, 1978). After morphological analysis this work follows the Flora of Tropical Africa (Oliver 1871) and treats D. flexicaulis as a separate species. Both species share the same habitat and have overlapping distributions. Additionally, hybrids of D. flexicaulis and D. affinis occur, which show characters of both parent species (Robinson et al. 2017).	en	Rjosk, A., Neinhuis, C., Monizi, M., Lautenschläger, T.

Note — So far, this species has been collected only from Katanga Province (DRC), but it is likely to occur in neighbour- ing regions. The herbarium specimens (F. Malaisse 4986 and S. Lisowski et al. 4659) share characters with D. flexicaulis and D. elongata (elongated stem, erect leaves) as well as with D. bequaertii (erect base of the peduncle, hairiness of leaves and peduncle). Since only few specimens have been collected so far, this species is not well studied. The shared characters with D. flexicaulis, D. elongata and D. bequaertii indicate that D. katangensis could be a hybrid of the above mentioned species (Robinson et al. 2017). The specimen Homblé 774 in particular could support that thesis. While three of the four plants are easily identified as D. flexicaulis, one plant looks similar to D. katangensis showing the erect base of the inflorescence and similar leaf shape and arrangement but it has only sparsely pilose petioles and stem. The examination of fresh material and molecular genetic analysis might shed further light on the taxonomic status of D. katangensis.	en	Rjosk, A., Neinhuis, C., Monizi, M., Lautenschläger, T.

Note — A very variable species with stems occasionally suppressed and dwarf forms (these show often suborbicular to elliptic leaves and a reddish colour). Hybridisation with D. elongata and D. affinis is possible. Plants in South Africa with suppressed stems (D. madagascariensis var. major Burtt Davy) were synonymized with D. curvipes Planch. and plants from southern Africa were synonymised with D. ramentacea Burch. ex DC. Both D. curvipes and D. ramentacea are now mostly accepted as separate taxa (Robinson et al. 2017). The distinct diagnostic features of D. madagascariensis (reflexed leaves, strongly curved base of inflorescence; Fig. 10) make most of the specimens easy to determine. However, the species is known to be highly variable in height, stem length and leaf size and shape depending on the habitat and available nutrients (Robinson et al. 2017). The dwarf form of D. madagascariensis (e. g., H. Breyne 4636) can be easily mistaken for D. burkeana or D. pilosa. To distinguish between these species leaf shape, seed shape and morphology and pollen morphology could be used. Furthermore, relatively large and robust specimens occur. Three large specimens are doubtfully determined as D. madagascariensis (partly H. Hess 50 / 188, A. W. Exell & F. A. Mendon ҫa 644 and 636) showing very large obovate to elliptic laminae, densely pilose stems, scapes and leaves and more or less erect to strongly curved inflorescences.	en	Rjosk, A., Neinhuis, C., Monizi, M., Lautenschläger, T.
