Drosera browniana

A small tuberous sundew from the dry wheatbelt and goldfields margin of south-western Western Australia. It forms a flat rosette 3–4 cm across in winter, flowers in August and September, then dies back to an underground tuber for the hot, dry summer. Grow it like other rosetted tuberous Drosera: cool, bright and moist in winter, bone dry in summer.

Where it grows wild

Herbarium labels place it in open heath, mallee and low shrubland on sandy loam, gravel and clay over granite, schist, ironstone or laterite. Several collections come from granite outcrops, including shallow gnamma-hole depressions filled with brown loam that stay wet in winter. It grows in the open among low shrubs.

Low inland plateau country, about 300–450 m; the one elevation on GBIF is 423 m.
