Maybe I should leave this as Drosera sp. because plants in this site have previously been recorded as Drosera peltata and there have been suggestions of Drosera hookeri further south. I have reported this because I thought it was going to be too dry for the plants to appear this year; they are small and late.

The new Census of Plants of the ACT (30 August 2019) does not mention Drosera hookeri so it looks as if at least for now, CNM sightings of Drosera plants that produce stems are either Drosera peltata or Drosera auriculata, with the distinction between them, as before, based on hairy/hairless sepals.
Drosera hookeri is now in the Plantnet key, but there is no description there yet. The distribution shown in Plantnet includes records from the Southern Tablelands, which includes the ACT.
