Drosera prostratoscaposa

A rare tuberous rosette sundew known only from a small area of Fitzgerald River National Park on Western Australia's south coast. It forms a rosette about 8 cm across and, unusually, carries several jasmine-scented white flowers on its lying-down scapes. It is related to D. macrophylla and D. bulbosa. Grow it as a winter-growing, summer-dormant tuberous sundew.

Where it grows wild

It grows on flats of fine black sand, which is sand darkened by organic matter, in the Fitzgerald River area. Specimens come from near a tributary of the Hamersley River and from below the west end of the Eyre Range. These are open heath and seasonally damp flats rather than forest.

It grows at low elevations, roughly 50–250 m, on the coastal plain and foothills of Fitzgerald River National Park. Specimens do not record elevation.
