Drosera stricticaulis

An erect tuberous sundew from south-western Australia. It grows a single glandular green stem up to about 25 cm tall, with small cup-shaped trapping leaves along it. The plant is noticeably yellow-green. Like other tuberous sundews it grows through the cool, wet winter, flowers pink from July to October, and survives the hot, dry summer as an underground tuber.

Where it grows wild

It grows in sandy clay or loam, often near watercourses and around granite outcrops. These are open or lightly wooded sites that are wet in winter and bake dry in summer. The plant is exposed to strong sun during its growing season.

Low inland plateau. The few records with an elevation are at 230–537 m (median 460 m).
