Drosera fimbriata

Manypeaks sundew

A tuberous sundew, the Manypeaks sundew, endemic to a small area of the south coast of Western Australia. It grows 10–15 cm tall, with a few whorls of non-carnivorous leaves low on the stem and several whorls of carnivorous leaves above, and flowers in October. It grows in the cool, wet winter and survives the dry summer as a dormant tuber, so the key to growing it is the seasonal cycle.
