Drosera walyunga

A sundew described in 1992 from the Darling Range east of Perth, Western Australia, named after the Walyunga area of the Avon Valley. Like other sundews of this region it grows through the cool, wet winter and is treated here as a winter-growing, summer-dormant tuberous sundew; details specific to this species are thin.

Where it grows wild

Recorded from a small area of the Darling Scarp and Avon Valley about 30–60 km north-east of Perth. The habitat is presumed to be open jarrah–marri woodland and heath on winter-wet gravelly, sandy or granite-derived soils, as for other tuberous sundews there.

Records carry no elevations; the Darling Scarp here lies at roughly 100–350 m.
