    Drosera cistiflora flowers
    Author: Ivan Lätti
    Photographer: Retha Wareham

    The widely open Drosera cistiflora flowers each has five white, broadly wedge-shaped petals with varying tip shapes around their black centres. The five orange anthers on sturdy dark filaments of each flower angle out to over the perimeter of the flower centres.

    A flower has three styles, each split into two branches. These pale grey female components emerging from the centre spread further than the anthers, the style branches reaching around halfway of petal length to the flower perimeter and higher than the anthers (Curtis-Scott, et al, 2020; Leistner (Ed.), 2000; iNaturalist).
