Known site for D. peltata. I wanted to record their presence even in this dry weather in case I don't get back when they flower.

I am not sure these are not the newly described Drosera hookeri, a more hefty plant than peltata whose basal rosettes do not turn red as they age. Those of peltata do.

Even the Drosera hookeri collected by Joseph Banks in 1770 was originally called Drosera peltata. Maybe most of the sundew records on CNM need to be reviewed. Microseris all over again.
