I need a photo of the back of the flower to be sure of the ID. Both Drosera peltata and Drosera auriculata can have white petals. The edges of the sepals of Drosera peltata are toothed and edged with short hairs. The edges of the sepals of Drosera auriculata are toothed but with no short hairs. The surface of the sepals of Drosera peltata is often hairy, sometimes hairless. The surface of the sepals of Drosera auriculata is always hairless.
