  • Etymology: "The epithet, planchonii, honours Jules Emile Planchon (1823-1888) of France. J.D. Hooker made the dedication in an unpublished manuscript; Planchon then published a description of Drosera planchonii, attributing authorship to Hooker, not knowing that Hooker had not yet published. The interational rules of nomenclature state that the first published name in the valid name, and so, by default, Planchon effectively named his own plant after himself. This situation was clearly not the fault of Planchon, but a result of the very slow historic speed of communications."
