Drosera murfetii
A Tasmanian sundew of subg. Arcturia, described by Lowrie and Conran in 2014. It was split from the alpine sundew, D. arcturi, and is larger than it, with more flowers per scape. Usually only one or two of its strap-shaped leaves carry sticky glands. It grows in the wet, cold mountains and moorlands of western and south-western Tasmania and needs cool summers and a cold winter rest.
Where it grows wild
It grows in open, permanently wet ground, such as bogs, seepages and tarn margins in montane and subalpine moorland, around Mount Field (Tarn Shelf), Cradle Mountain, Lake Pedder and the Franklin-Gordon wilderness.
GBIF records with elevation run 3-1,270 m, with a median of 860 m (60 records). Most sites are montane to subalpine, but south-western moorland lets it grow much lower.
