Description: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.29:16 (2000)
+ "This [Dionaea muscipula {Soland. ex Ellis}] is of uncertain origin,
+ but has been distributed without an established name. As such, the
+ commonly used name [Dionaea ' Sawtooth ' {B.Meyers-Rice}] is being
+ registered. [Dionaea ' Sawtooth ' {B.Meyers-Rice}] is a remarkable
+ plant in the Dionaea Dentate Traps Group {B.Meyers-Rice}. Its
+ marginal trap spines are reduced to small triangular teeth, as in
+ [Dionaea ' Dentate Traps ' {B.Meyers-Rice}]. Unlike that latter
+ cultivar, however, the teeth of [Dionaea ' Sawtooth ' {B.Meyers-Rice}]
+ are frequently minutely divided into two or more tiny teethlets, so
+ the trap has an almost fringed appearance. Late in the season, the
+ interior of the traps may be deeply red, although this is not visible
+ in young traps."
Standard: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.29:15 (2000)
Propagation: vegetative only
Etymology: the marginal trap tentacles are small and fimbriately notched
