Drosera albonotata

Drosera albonotata is a pygmy sundew from the western Wheatbelt of Western Australia. It forms rosettes about 15 mm across and, in September and October, carries large orange flowers about 25 mm wide with white patches at the base of the petals. Like other pygmy sundews, it grows through the wet winter and spring, rests in the hot, dry summer and reproduces easily from gemmae.

Where it grows wild

It grows in the western Wheatbelt of south-west Western Australia, which has a Mediterranean climate. Pygmy sundews there grow in sandy or lateritic soils that are wet in winter and dry out in summer. The crown hairs typical of pygmy sundews shade the growing point from strong summer sun. Its exact soils were not found in the sources.

No elevation data was found. The western Wheatbelt is low, gently rolling country, mostly around 200–400 m.
