Drosera peltata
Up to 30cm tall. An upright delicate plant with simple white flowers and spiky pink and green leaves designed to capture small arthropod prey. Many plants covered a large shady area of dry forest floor.
Open, dry eucalyptus forest floor with grasses and mosses.
D. peltata subsp. auriculata . . This 'carnivorous' species is fairly common in Victoria but I have never remembered what time of year the flowers appear. Also in NZ and India.
