I wish to dedicate this cultivar to Dimitar (Dimi) Daskalov, a very dear friend of mine who recently passed away.We met via CPUK Forum many years ago through a common love for Cepha-lotus and stayed strong friends. Dimi was an avid Bulgarian Cephalotus grower who at one time had a very large collection of named clones and cultivars.
我想把这个品种献给我最近去世的一位非常亲密的朋友Dimitar (Dimi) Daskalov。我们多年前通过 CPUK 论坛相识,因为对 Cepha-lotus 的共同热爱,我们成为了亲密的朋友。Dimi是一位狂热的土瓶草爱好者,他曾经收集了大量已命名的组培个体及品种。

Dimi received this clone in Europe from a U.S. grower in 2014 and passed a division on to me in 2015.The original source is not known, nor is it known if it was more widely distributed in the USA.
2014年,Dimi在欧洲从一个美国植物玩家那里获得了这个克隆品种,并于2015年将一个分株转交给了我。该品种来源尚不清楚,也不知道它是否在美国有更广泛的种植。

Dimi was a very generous grower, and he would often send me clones without asking for any-thing in return. Like myself, he eventually reduced his collection to those clones for which he considered to have truly unique forms, with two of his favourites being Cephalotus ‘Bananito’and Cephalotus ’Squat’, the latter of which he registered as a cultivar.
Dimi是一个非常慷慨的栽培爱好者,他经常送我克隆的品种,却不求任何回报。和我一样,养了很多,但他最后只收藏那些他认为具有真正独特特征的克隆品种,他最喜欢的两个品种是 土瓶草 'Bananito' 和 土瓶草 'Squat',后者是他注册栽培的品种。

Dimi and I collaborated in naming Cephalotus ‘TomThumb’and authoring this description.The description was published online, but until now has never been submitted for cultivar name registra-tion. I have been growing this clone ever since receiving it from Dimi in 2015 and it still maintains its diminutive pitcher size.
Dimi和我一起把这个品种命名为 ' TomThumb '(大拇指汤姆),并撰写了这篇描述。该描述发布在网上,但从未提交品种名称登进行记。自从2015年我从Dimi那里收到它以来,我一直在培育这个品种,它一直保持着它的小笼子的特征。

Cephalotus ‘TomThumb’(Fig. 7) has an easily distinguishable characteristic in that the pitchers are miniature, typically measuring no greater than 1.5 cm from the base to the top of the peristome. As typical of Cephalotus, pitcher size for a particular clone is a function of environmental condi-tions, but given identical conditions, thus far this clone has shown to create smaller pitchers than typical. The shape of the base of the pitcher is hooked and acutely tapered.
土瓶草'TomThumb'(大拇指汤姆)(图 7)具有一个易于区分的特征,即捕虫笼是微型的,通常从基部到唇顶部的长度不超过 1.5 厘米。作为典型的土瓶草,笼子的大小受环境因素的影响,但在相同的条件下,迄今为止,该品种长出的笼子都比典型土瓶草长出的笼子更小。笼子基部的形状呈钩状并呈锐角锥形。

Under certain conditions, the pitcher colour is very dark maroon, with the base of the pitcher taking on the deepest colouration, graduating up the pitcher. However, colouration does not form part of this clones’ distinctive characteristics, as typical of Cephalotus, colour can vary greatly under different growing conditions, rather it is the small pitcher size that makes this clone distinctive and worthy of recognition.
在某些条件下,笼子的颜色呈现出非常深的栗色,笼子的底部颜色最深,向上逐渐变浅。然而,颜色并不是这个品种的显著特征的一部分,作为典型的土瓶草,在不同的生长环境下,颜色会有很大的变化,而它较小的捕虫笼的特征,使得这个品种与众不同,容易识别。

Asexual propagation (vegetative) is required to preserve the clones’unique characteristics.
