What is the common name of Drosera capensis? Its common name is Cape sundew.

Drosera capensis is a perennial carnivorous herb native to the Cape region of South Africa. It forms a rosette of elongated leaves covered with red-stalked glands that secrete sticky mucilage. Small arthropods become trapped on this glistening surface, and the leaf can curl around prey to aid digestion.

The “Cape” in Cape sundew refers to its South African origin, not to a special type of trap. Like other sundews, it supplements nutrients from poor, wet soils by digesting prey. It is not a pitcher plant, cobra lily, or butterwort: those common names refer to unrelated carnivorous plants.

The species was among the Drosera included in Carl Linnaeus’s first edition of Species Plantarum in 1753, and it was cultivated in Europe by the mid-18th century. Its showy appearance, readiness to flower, and tolerance of beginner cultivation have made it one of the world’s most widely grown sundews. It has also become naturalised outside its native range and is listed as invasive in New Zealand.
