Drosera pedicellaris
A pygmy sundew from the northern wheatbelt of Western Australia, forming a flat rosette only 1-1.8 cm across with up to twenty tiny round-bladed leaves. It was discovered in 1997 and is known from just three small populations on white sand in open heathland, and is listed as Vulnerable. Like other pygmy sundews it makes gemmae in autumn, grows through the cool wet winter and flowers in October-November with white flowers on unusually long pedicels.
Where it grows wild
It grows on white sandy soils in open, low heathland (kwongan), where the ground is wet in winter and bakes dry in summer. The rosettes sit flat on bare sand between low shrubs, fully exposed to the sky. Two of its three known sites are nature reserves; agricultural clearing and fire are the main threats.
Published elevations are 80-300 m above sea level. None of the 13 GBIF records carries an elevation.
