Drosera badgerupii

Drosera x badgerupii is a natural sundew hybrid from south-western Western Australia, described by Cheek in 1993. Its parentage and growth habit are not confirmed in the sources checked, so treat it like the south-west's winter-growing sundews: wet, sunny and mild in winter, dormant through the hot, dry summer.

Where it grows wild

Named after Badgerup, north of Perth, on the Swan Coastal Plain. South-west Australian sundews there grow in open sandy heath and seasonally damp flats in full sun.

No recorded elevations; the Perth coastal plain lies near sea level.
