Stellenbosch University Botanical Garden, South Africa

Common name: Drosera

Family: Droseraceae (Sundew)

Distribution: Cape Peninsula, South Africa

IUCN Red list: Not evaluated

Comments: This species is a summer dormant sundew, meaning that it only actively grows in the cooler and wetter months of the year. It survives the extreme dry conditions of the South African summer (November - March) by storing water and nutrients in thick fleshy and fibrous roots.
