Drosera rotundifolia is
a perennial found in sunny wetlands from mountain regions through
subalpine zones. Leaves are radical in a rosette way, with petiole
2-8cm long, in an obovate-like circular shape, with many long
red-purple glandular hairs, from tips that produce mucilage for
catching insects. Scapes measure 10-20cm long and bear racemes in a
swirling way but gradually become straight. Flowers begin blooming
from lower parts toward upward; petals are 5 in number, white, and
4-5mm in length. Bloom time: June-August. |
