Drosera kihlmanii

A little-known sundew name published by Ikonnikov for plants from the far north of European Russia, named after the Finnish botanist Kihlman who explored the Kola Peninsula. It is rarely recognised in modern works, and GBIF holds no occurrence records. Treat it as a boreal bog sundew related to Drosera anglica and D. rotundifolia, which need a cold winter dormancy.
