Drosera, also known as sundew, is a fascinating genus of carnivorous plants that belong to the family Droseraceae. These unique plants have captured the attention of botanists and nature enthusiasts for centuries. In 1613, an illustration depicted various flowers including the round-leaved sundew from the Droseraceae family, alongside florists carnation from Caryophyllaceae and arnica from Compositae. This artwork showcased the diversity of plant species even back then. One particular species within this genus is the fork-leaved sundew (Drosera bipinata), native to Australia. Its leaves unfurl in a mesmerizing manner, captivating anyone who witnesses this natural phenomenon. The fork-leaved sundew's presence adds to Australia's rich biodiversity. A close-up image reveals the intricate details of another member of this genus - the round-leaved sundew (Drosera rotundifolia). Its secretions of mucilage glisten under sunlight while entrapping an unfortunate insect. This carnivorous characteristic sets it apart from other plants. The rosy sundew (Drosera hamiltonii) showcases its beauty with a curled flower bud in a studio environment. Its delicate petals hold promises of future blossoms that will surely captivate any observer. Sticky droplets on the end of another round-leaved sundew's tentacles highlight its efficient trapping mechanism for insects seeking refuge on its surface. These droplets serve as both allure and danger for unsuspecting prey. In Kemeri National Park's bog forest, Sundews (Drosera sp) thrive amongst other flora on the forest floor. Their insectivorous nature plays an essential role in maintaining ecological balance within their habitat. An old lithograph depicts various insectivorous plants, showcasing their intriguing adaptations for capturing prey and surviving in nutrient-poor environments. Among them are members of the Drosera genus, emphasizing their significance in the botanical world.
