Drosera buubugujin

A tropical sundew described by M.T. Mathieson in 2020 from far north Queensland, known from very few records. The single measured site sits in hot monsoonal country near Cooktown, with a wet summer and a long dry winter. Grow it like the northern Australian tropical sundews: hot, very bright, humid and wet in summer.

Where it grows wild

Known from a handful of wild records on Cape York Peninsula. Published habitat detail was not accessible; northern Queensland sundews typically grow in open, seasonally wet sand or gravel seepages.

The measured site was modelled at about 300 m; few records carry an elevation.
