| Publication: Fleischmann, A. S., Rakotoarivelo, N. H., Roccia, A., Gonella, P. M., Andriamiarisoa, L. R., Razanatsima, A., & Rakotoarivony, F. (2020). A new and endemic species of Drosera (Droseraceae) from Madagascar. Plant Ecology and Evolution, 153(2), 283-291. |
| Habitat: Slopes 630-1330m in elevation. A specimen collected in 1941 at Itaolana is recorded as being collected at 1500m, though a recent search at this location revealed no Drosera at the summit. Rather, the plants were restricted to a steep slope at 1330m. Generally, the plants are found in open areas within tropical forests in moist granite or clay-based soil. |
| Phenology: Recorded in flower at the type location during the months of September and October in the cooler dry season. Seeds germinate with the arrival of the rainy season in December. |
