Drosera depauperata

A small Western Australian sundew described by Lowrie and Conran in 2013, known from very few collections, including material from the shores of Lake Pleasant View on the south coast. Only one wild record is usable, from a mild, maritime site with winter rain. Care here is inferred from that climate and the lakeshore habitat.
