Drosera moorei
A tuberous, scrambling sundew from the inland Wheatbelt and Goldfields of Western Australia. Each winter it grows thin stems 12-35 cm long with small, round, peltate trapping leaves, and it flowers yellow in September and October. It grows through the cool, wet winter and survives the hot, dry summer as a dormant tuber, so success at home depends on copying that yearly cycle.
Where it grows wild
It grows in sandy loam near granite outcrops, including damp seepage areas on the rock margins, and scrambles up through low shrubs and grasses. The sites are open and sunny, with low, sparse vegetation. GBIF records come from granite-rock reserves and roadsides across the Wheatbelt and western Goldfields, such as Warralakin, Victoria Rock, Londonderry, Bullabulling, Varley, Lake Biddy and Dragon Rocks.
No elevation is published. The recorded localities lie on the inland plateau of Western Australia, roughly 250-450 m above sea level.
