About Drosera scorpioides Planch.
Drosera scorpioides Planch., commonly known as the shaggy sundew, is a pygmy sundew native to the Jarrah Forest region and southern coasts of Southwest Australia. It is notable for its unusually large size compared to other pygmy sundews: it can produce rosettes up to two inches in diameter, and full-grown specimens may reach a height of up to 100 millimeters, which is approximately 3.9 inches. This species grows on white sand and clay, near swamps, and on sand ridges, and is associated with laterite. Its flowers are pink and white, and bloom between August and October. The lifespan of D. scorpioides can reach up to seven years, depending on its form.
