✦ Synopsis

The rapid clonal multiplication of two species of South African Drosera is described. Levels of plumbagin, (5-hydroxy-2-methyl-l,4-naphthoquinone) from in vivo and in vitro grown plants are compared to those present in Plumbago roots. P. auriculata Lam. roots contained more than twice as much plumbagin as in vivo grown D. capensis L. plants which in turn contained more than twice as much as comparable plants of D. natalensis Diels. It is concluded that the extraction of plumbagin from Drosera plants is not commercially feasible.
