About Drosera fulva Planch.
Drosera fulva Planch. produces semi-erect or prostrate leaves arranged in a compact basal rosette. Oblanceolate petioles that emerge from the center of the rosette are typically 2–3 mm wide at their widest point. Small, round red carnivorous leaf blades grow at the end of each petiole, measuring 2–3 mm in diameter. Inflorescences reach 25–45 cm (10–18 in) in length, bearing 50 or more white, or sometimes pink, flowers on racemes from February through May. This species is native to the area around Darwin in Australia, ranging from Koolpinyah to Noonamah in the southeast, with one single historic collection made from Port Essington. It grows in damp sandy soils in ephemeral wet depressions that sit above seasonal flood levels, or in seepage areas. In 1996, Allen Lowrie speculated that D. fulva may also occur on the Cobourg Peninsula.
