Drosera binata f. extrema has the most leaf divisions of any binata form, branching many times to produce anywhere up to 40 leaf points. Will turn very red in good light in summer.

Drosera binata is a native of Australia, primarily in coastal areas from Fraser Island in Queensland, southwards down through New South Wales and Victoria to Tasmania and the south-east corner of South Australia. The range extends to New Zealand where it is common below an elevation of 1000 metres, on both North and South Island, Stewart Island/Rakiura and on the Chathams. Some populations go dormant in the winter and may survive down to USDA zone 6, while others are truly tropical.
There are three forms described based on how much the leaves are divided: the T-form, multifida and extrema.

One plant per pot, flowering size. Sub-tropical, dormant in winter, may go dormant in summer if too hot. In case the crown dies off due to heat stress in summer, move the pot to a cooler location and/or wait untill autumn. Drosera binata is hardy if a bit heat sensitive: it may die back if the summer is too hot, but it grows back from the roots with a venegance.
