  Drosera spathulata / Komousengoke コモウセンゴケ

Drosera spathulata, a perennial of 5-15cm in height, occurs in sunny oligotrophic wetlands or damp clayey bare lands. The rosette-like radical leaves measure 2-4cm long, including the petioles; the petioles are approximately twice as long as the blades, but locating the border between them is challenging. The leaves are light green, tinged with red, with long, red glandular hairs all around that produce mucilage to catch insects. Racemes appear on scape tips and bear about ten pale red, 5-petaled flowers. Bloom time: June-September.
