Sundew (Drosera)
This is a Drosera species, common name is Sundew. This is a carnivorous plant and it was found on the side of Cameron hall near the forest line. This plant is known for its ability to lure prey using its mucilaginous glands to produce a "sundew" like droplet that attracts small insects. In this photo, the sundew is exhibiting a functional type 1 response. This is because the sundew is a passive predator that produces a mucilage substance at the tips of its tentacles and waits for small prey to land on it. This response is linear due to a constant consumption rate and all time spent feeding searching for prey.
