Drosera pulchella
About
Drosera pulchella is a species of carnivorous plant in the family Droseraceae. This species of pygmy sundew is native to southwestern Australia. As their common name suggests, they are a small species that are usually 15 to 20 millimeters wide. They typically grow in clusters that completely cover an area like a patch of moss. The namesake sticky dew at the ends of their leaves is designed to trap insects so that the plants can absorb nutrients as the insect decomposes.
