TAXONOMY : 
The currently accepted scientific name of round-leaved sundew is Drosera
rotundifolia L. (Droseraceae) [14,19,20,21,44].  The following varieties
are recognized:

Drosera rotundifolia var. rotundifolia
D. rotundifolia var. gracilis Laestad [22,27]
D. rotundifolia var. comosa Fern. [14,27,47]

Round-leaved sundew hybridizes with English sundew (D. anglica) where
the two grow together [22,41].  The resultant hybrid, D. X obovata Mert.
& Koch, is sterile [14,20,27,45].  Round-leaved sundew also hybridizes
with narrow-leaved sundew (D. linearis) to form the infertile D. X
anglica Hudson, which is morphologically indistinguishable from the
fertile D. anglica [45,59].
