Drosera anglica, commonly known as the English sundew or great sundew. It is sometimes reffered too with a synonim: Drosera longifolia. Drosera anglica is a temperate species with a circumboreal range. Drosera anglica occurs as far south as Japan, southern Europe, and the island of Kauai in Hawaii. The Hawaiian forms are tropical and do not torm a hibernaculum.
It is thought to originate from an amphidiploid hybrid of Drosera rotundifolia and Drosera linearis, meaning that a sterile hybrid between these two species doubled its chromosomes to produce fertile progeny which stabilized into the current Drosera anglica.
Drosera anglica grows in open, non-forested habitat with wet, often calcium-rich soils. These include bogs, marl fens, quaking bogs, cobble shores, and other calcareous habitats. This tolerance of calcium is relatively rare in the rest of the genus. D. anglica is often associated with various sphagnum mosses, and many times grows in a soil substrate that is entirely composed of living, dead, or decomposed sphagnum. The sphagnum wicks moisture to the surface while simultaneously acidifying it. What soil nutrients are not seeped away by the constant moisture are often used up by the sphagnum or made unavailable by the low soil pH. Since nutrient availability is low, competition from other plants is diminished, allowing the carnivorous English sundew to flourish.
Drosera anglica was given its first scientific description and named by the botanist William Hudson in 1778.
