Drosera helodes gemmae

Drosera helodes is a pygmy sundew from Australia. It is a carnivorous plant that catches and digests tiny insects in the sticky dew it produces on its leaves. This adaptation allows them to grow in nutrient poor soils. The pygmy sundews produce gemmae which are modified buds of tissue that can detach from the parent plant and grow into a new plant that will be a clone of the original.
