A 2018 de Salis paper in Muelleria 36:97-106 has not yet been assessed by all the herbaria for APC, which is possibly why the name Drosera gunniana doesn’t appear in the on-line Flora of Victoria (although the name does come up in AVH, see https://avh.ala.org.au/occurrences/search?q=taxa%3A%22Drosera+gunniana%22#tab_mapView), on-line Flora of NSW, or in the ACT Plant Census. The fact that it’s in APII only indicates that the name has been published, not that it has been accepted by the herbaria. The Australian National Herbarium people have now added it to the list of taxa to be reviewed by all the herbaria for APC, but this process could take another 6 months or more.
So, in the meantime, CNM accepts the taxonomic case i presented by de Salis for accepting the name D. gunniana. The main differences between ACT main Drosera species are shown in the table below. The characters in bold apprear to be most reliable
