Drosera glanduligera
About 100 square metres of ground was covered with a mix of mosses and these small carnivorous plants. Each was approximately 60mm wide.
Mountainous state park. The ground was very wet and made up of a coarse sandy mix and partially shaded. The trees above were mostly casuarina and cupressidae.
Named for it's red-orange flowers which appear in August to November. These specimens showed no sign of flower. The traps of this species combines features of both flypaper and snap traps. These plants carry over to the next season by seed. Thanks Lori... I'll concentrate a bit harder.
Thanks Lori.Tas - I was definitely a bit slap-dash with IDing this one... I'll check it out later.
Lovely photos Mark. What you've found is a rosetted species of Drosera. Whereas, D. peltata is a spindly and tall plant.
