Drosera graminifolia

A Brazilian sundew with long, narrow, grass-like leaves from the campo rupestre of Minas Gerais. It grows in permanently wet seepages and sandy bogs in open rocky grassland, in full sun, with warm days and mild nights. Little has been published on it beyond its description and field records, so conditions here rest on the measured climate and on better-known Espinhaço sundews.

Where it grows wild

It grows in open, seepage-fed sandy or peaty ground among grasses and sedges in campo rupestre, the rocky highland grassland of the Espinhaço range.

Records cluster at about 900–1400 m (median 1095 m) in the Espinhaço range; the 12 m and 3275 m extremes are likely georeferencing errors.
