Drosera solaris

A sundew of the Guyana highlands described in 2007 and related to Drosera felix and D. kaieteurensis. There are no wild GBIF records, and our only climate point sits at 300 m, so the real highland site is probably cooler. Grow it like other Guiana Shield sundews: bright, humid and constantly moist.
