Drosera aliciae

Drosera aliciae is a stemless perennial, growing a basal rosette of spoon-shaped leaves that are hairy also on their lower surfaces. In flower the plant reaches 20 cm to 40 cm.

The glandular hairs are of uneven length, covering the leaf surfaces densely, but not on the narrowing leaf bases. The leaf tips are red, largely from hair colour.

The species distribution is in the Western Cape from the Cape Peninsula in a broad swathe along the south coast to the Eastern Cape as far as the Van Staden's Mountains.

The habitat is peaty sandstone marshes and seeps in grassy fynbos. The habitat population is deemed of least concern early in the twenty first century (Euston-Brown and Kruger, 2023; Manning, 2007; Bean and Johns, 2005; iNaturalist; http://redlist.sanbi.org).
