Summary ²

Drosera filiformis, commonly known as the Thread-leaved sundew, is a small, insectivorous, rosette forming species of perennial herb. A species of sundew, it is unusual within its genus in that the long, erect, filiform (thread-like) leaves of this plant unroll in spirals - an arrangement similar to the circinate vernation seen in Ferns.
