Field Notes

Description:

This carnivorous plant normally spans only 2 cm (0.8 in) in diameter. It is one of the fastest trapping sundews as well, and its leaves can curl around an insect in only a few seconds, compared to the minutes or hours it takes other sundews to surround their prey.

Habitat:

montane rainforest

Notes:

I spotted this growing in the hard ground along a trail to a waterfall in Bach Ma national park.
