Drosera androsacea, 10+ gemmae

The epithet androsacea refers to the similarity between the flower of this species and the small, white or pink, 5-petalled flowers of the rock jasmine, Androsace, a genus from the cooler regions of the northern hemisphere. The term androsace (man s shield) is from Greek, a reference to the cushion-like habit of several Androsace species, said to resemble small shields.Drosera androsacea is found in Western Australia to the south of Perth, with records from Corrigin, Dragon Rocks, Katanning, the Stirling Range, Varley and Williams.This species grows in stony, white, sandy-loam soils, as well as in light brown loam with laterite gravels in low, open heath. In summer, these soils may dry out to become compacted and hard.You can find cultivation tips and more on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@RanchOfPlants
