Drosera grantsaui
Drosera grantsaui is a delicate sundew that forms stems up to 28 cm long, often leaning on the grasses around it, with oblong-spatulate leaves and white to pale pink flowers. It grows in permanently moist to wet grasslands, spring margins and Sphagnum carpets across the Brazilian Cerrado and Atlantic Forest regions, and it is also found in Paraguay. It does not go dormant and it flowers all year, so it is an easy warm-growing sundew for a wet tray.
Where it grows wild
It grows in perennially moist to wet grasslands, in sandy to peaty soils, and is sometimes briefly submerged. It occurs at the edges of veredas (palm swamps) and along rivers, usually among tall, fairly dense grasses and sedges, and in the campos rupestres and campos gerais it grows around permanent springs, at times in Sphagnum.
The literature gives 600–1,600 m. GBIF records span 0–1,560 m (median 730 m), and the lowest ones probably come from southern coastal or lowland sites.
