Drosera allantostigma

Drosera allantostigma is a pygmy sundew from southwest Western Australia. It is named for its sausage-shaped stigmas. Like other pygmy sundews, it grows through the cool wet winter in sunny sandy heath, makes gemmae for propagation and survives the hot, dry summer as a dormant bud.
