The leaf blades of D. ROTUNDIFOLIA are about as long as they are wide. D. LINEARIS has narrow leaf blades, but the seeds are less than 1 mm long. A hand lens or microscope will be required to measure the seeds.

Ecology and Life History

Short General Description:

English sundew; Sundew family (Droseraceae). An herbaceous, annual-to-perennial, insectivorous plant. Grows in a rosette of small, erect, oval leaves covered with small hairs.

Description:

English Sundew is a perennial herb with a rosette of basal leaves and unbranched, leafless stems that are 6-18 cm high and which arise from a simple rootcrown. The leaves have stalks that are 2-8 cm long; leaves have narrowly oblong blades that are 1-3 cm long and 3-5 mm wide and covered on the upper surfaces with reddish, stalked glands that trap insects. 2-7 short-stalked flowers are borne on one side of the top of the stem. Each flower has a 5-lobed calyx that is 5-6 mm long and 5 separate, oblong, white petals that are longer than the calyx. There are 5 stamens and 4-5 styles, which are divided more than half their length. The fruit is a many-seeded capsule, and seeds are at least 1 mm long.
