This is a tiny sundew species from northern South America, very similar to its slightly more common relative D. kaieteurensis but tending to express less hairy flower stalks with fewer blooms. Plants rarely exceed an inch across, the paddle-shaped leaves growing out in a flat rosette that sometimes develops into short stems, and under good light they can turn nearly solid red. Flower stalks are very short, usually under 2 inches tall, the flowers on them nearly as large as the plants themselves and pure white, self-pollinating. Seeds are released from “splash cups” formed by the opening pods, and don’t require any special treatment to germinate.
