Drosera scorpioides
An Australian sundew propagating by gemmae with scorpion-tail-like flower stalks.
Drosera scorpioides is a tuberous sundew from the sandy wetlands of southwestern Western Australia. Its most distinctive feature is the production of abundant gemmae (vegetative propagules) at the base of the leaves during the winter growing season—each gemma, once dispersed, can germinate into a new plant, making propagation extremely easy. The coiled, scorpion-tail-like appearance of the flower stalk gives the species its name. The narrow, glistening leaves are ornamentally attractive. Cultivation requires nutrient-poor sphagnum or peat-perlite media, tray watering with pure or rainwater, strong direct light, and moderately cool temperatures (15–25°C); high summer heat is poorly tolerated and the plant typically rests during the hottest months. Its prolific gemma production and attractive form make it a favorite among sundew collectors.
