Drosera pingellyensis

Drosera × pingellyensis is a natural hybrid named by Lowrie and Conran in 2013 from around Pingelly in the Western Australian wheatbelt. Its parentage was not confirmed from the sources reached; the authors and locality suggest a pygmy sundew hybrid. Grow it on the winter-wet, summer-dormant pygmy regime with care until more is known.
