This plant belongs to the petiolaris complex (subgenus Lasiocephala), a group of Drosera known as "woolly sundews" and native to northern Australia. Distinguished by their long petioles that are often covered in a silvery hair, these plants look like tiny pincushions or sea urchins. They love high light, warm temps, and lots of water. This still undescribed plant looks most similar to ordensis, but has much furrier and wider leaves. It appears to be very closely related to the plants labeled as "Very Wide Leaf, Kingston Rest", but with slightly thinner leaves. All that aside, it's a beautiful species of petiolaris complex sundew. The whitish silvery leaves contrast nicely with the round orange traps, and the whole plant is symmetrical. Seems to enjoy warm, moist, and high light conditions, similar to what it receives in situ. Unfortunately, like all other petio complex dews I grow, it also seem to like randomly going dormant. I try to feed as often as I can and keep warm. Temperatures should remain above 78F.
