Pygmy sundews are a subgenus (Bryastrum) of Drosera that are all very small. Native to western Australia, these plants grow in sandy soils that experience cool wet winters and hot dry summers. They reproduce using small brood bodies called gemmae, and often become dormant in warmer weather, dying back to a cone shaped mass of stipules. Drosera x "Caburap" is a naturally occuring hybrid between Drosera occidentalis x platystigma. It looks a lot like the occidentalis parent, with skinny petioles and bright red traps. It's much larger than occidentalis though, and the leaf petioles are noticeably wider too. This plant also produces small white flowers with skinny petals, which are sterile. An interesting fact: "caburap" is apparently indigenous Australian, but the meaning of the word is unknown.
