Drosera graomogolensis
A Brazilian sundew with a flat rosette of wine-red leaves up to 3.5 cm, white-hairy beneath. It sends up one or two stalks up to 34 cm tall carrying 10–16 pinkish-violet flowers. It grows in wet sand, Sphagnum and seepage on quartzite in the campo rupestre of northern Minas Gerais, so it needs full sun, warmth and constantly wet, nutrient-poor media. It is now grown in European collections.
Where it grows wild
Grows in campo rupestre (rocky grassland on quartzite): in moist, sometimes boggy sand among sparse grasses, on wet rocks with Sphagnum, in quartz gravel, and at the edges of seepage marshes (veredas) and streams. Some labels also record dry sand, probably collected in the dry season.
Herbarium specimens range from about 350 to 860 m, mostly 700–860 m around Grão Mogol and Botumirim.
