Drosera prifolia

Drosera prifolia is an obscure name published by Tepper, a 19th-century South Australian naturalist; GBIF lists it but holds no wild records. Its identity and growth habit could not be confirmed, and it may be a synonym of a better-known species. The conditions below are a cautious southern Australian winter-growing sundew regime, not species-specific advice.
