Drosera meristocaulis
Drosera meristocaulis is a tiny sundew known only from the Neblina massif on the Venezuela–Brazil border. It forms small clumps of red rosettes on branching upright stems up to about 15 cm tall, wrapped in the dead leaves of earlier years. It grows in open, cloud-soaked boggy savanna, so it needs Heliamphora-style highland conditions: bright light, cool nights, constant moisture and very humid air.
Where it grows wild
It grows in open boggy savanna and swamps on the Neblina massif, alongside Heliamphora neblinae and along streams lined with Euterpe palms. Cloud often covers the upper mountain for long periods, keeping peat, rock and plants wet.
Wikipedia gives 1900–2200 m. The six GBIF records with an elevation span 1680–1900 m, median 1680 m, so its range probably reaches a little lower than the literature says.
