Drosera hamiltonii
Drosera hamiltonii is a rosetted sundew from the southwestern regions of Australia, similar to Cephalotus follicularis. This plant differs from other rosetted sundews in that its leaves are very thin and lie flat against the soil surface. Leaves emerge from the center of the plant and roll outwards like a scroll. In very bright light, the plant turns very dark reddish purple. Like many rosetted sundews, Drosera hamiltonii will form clumps over time.
