Drosera billardiera

A spelling variant of Drosera billardierei, which GBIF treats as a synonym of Drosera binata, the forked sundew. That is a large perennial sundew of south-eastern Australia and New Zealand with narrow forked leaves up to 60 cm long; there are no records under this name, so the profile follows D. binata.
