Drosera aliciae
Sub-tropical, easy to grow.
Drosera aliciae grows slowly and over time forms a mound. The plant is not particularly picky, but it does prefer deep pots. When transplating take care of its roots; they are long and few. The plant recovers from broken roots very well, but the recovery slows down its growth.
Flowers are hot pink and open very briefly for a few hours with good sunlight. They can be pollinated by insects but are usually self-pollinated.

Drosera aliciae is one of the 23 sendew species endemic to South Africa. It is a common species in the Western Cape, its distribution extending into the Eastern Cape. It occurs at altitudes from 30 to 2000 m.
As most sundews it is a marsh plant. In nature it can be found in damp, peaty, exposed areas on stream and river banks or in seeps.
The species was first named and published in the Journal de Botanique in 1905 by Raymond-Hamet (1890-1972) who was 15 years old at the time. He named Drosera aliciae in honour of Dr. Alice Rasse who encouraged him to study the sundew family.
Synonyms include Drosera curviscapa Salter var. curviscapa and Drosera curviscapa Salter var. esterhuyseniae Salter (Obermeyer 1970).
Drosera aliciae is closely related to D. natalensis and they can be difficult to distinguish in the Eastern Cape where their distributions overlap. D. aliciae is a more compact plant with stipules divided in three. D. natalensis has more irregularly fringed stipules and a more lax habit.
One plant per pot, semiadult or adult.
