This Drosera capensis is from the Montegu Pass in South Africa. Known for very long and lanky leaves and petiole...one of the longest, possibly!
Drosera capensis is a South African sundew known for its long, narrow leaves covered in glistening, sticky mucilage (goo) used to trap insects. When prey lands on the leaves, the tentacles slowly curl around it to aid digestion.
