Dark respiration (RD) was measured in gemmae of 4 pygmy Drosera species and in roots of Drosophyllum lusitanicum as a criterion of the intensity of metabolism of these organs. RD values of gemmae are quite comparable with those found in leaves or traps of terrestrial carnivorous plants or reported for leaves of non-carnivorous herbs. RD values of young parts of fine lateral roots of Drosophyllum ranged from 16.2 to 22.6 mmol.kg-1FW.h-1. These values are comparable with recordly high RD in Drosera rotundifolia or even slightly higher.
