Description: Petioles with few to many long trichomes; petals pink (sometimes fading to white); plants scapose; inflorescence straight at base; seeds coarsely corrugated into 14-16 longitudinal ridges (Flora of the Southeastern United States: Texas) Can be differentiated from D. brevifolia due to the longer and more exaggerated petiole, as well as the flower stalks being glabrous (whereas D. brevifolia has glandulous scapes). Drosera capillaris is also much bigger.
Ecology: Found in wet, peaty or sandy areas and pine savannahs. Can be found among taller grasses and undisturbed sites, unlike Drosera brevifolia.
