Pygmy or Tiny Sundew Drosera pygmaea, Myamyn, Victoria.
A very small carnivourous plant, only a few millimetres across, that grows in damp area of sandy heath.
These are young (1 yr old) d. Scorpioides. I refer to them as the 'giant' pygmy sundew. They can be as tall as 3 inches.
Flower stalk coming off of one of my pygmy sundews. To imagine the size, the flower stalk is about the width of your average sewing thread.
this location of a few square metres had sundews a decade ago and they were interspersed with trigger plants. The trigger plants are now (December 2020) coating the paddock in pink. No sundews appeared.

This little plant is carnivorous and just under 2cm across a tiny jewel with a dark nature for consuming insects.
Locally common yet not present over what appears to be suitable habitat. The yellow-green plants from Kai Iwi and Desert Road were interesting to see.

At least, it looks like this, but the soil here was far from being damp....
Pygmy Sundew (Drosera pygmaea). My first time seeing this plant, too. :) [Royal National Park, Sydney]
Drosera verrucata is a quite common pygmy sundew around Albany. It has only recently been described but it was long known under the name "D. dichrosepala". Since the true D. dichrosepala has been rediscovered, these plants from Albany (which are also quite common in cultivation!) are now called D. verrucata.
