Drosera hilaris Cham. & Schltdl.

Fairly robust herbs forming an upright, unbranched stem from a decumbent older part. Roots apparently poorly developed at the time of flowering. Older part of stem densely covered by the reflexed persistent leaf remains. Leaves rosulate or closely imbricate with the petiole confluent with the lamina, hairy; stipules suppressed or consisting of some long setae, fused below, hidden amongst the copious rust-coloured tomentum, deciduous; lamina narrowly oblanceolate, up to 7 cm long and 9 mm broad, bearing knob-shaped tentacles only; the lower surface copiously hairy. Inflorescence axillary, scape leafless, up to 25 cm long, 6-12 flowered, the secund flowers close together on short pedicels. Calyx-lobes narrow-ovate, 6 mm. Petals broadly obovate, 10-15 mm long, notched or entire, magenta to reddish purple. Stamens short, filaments dilated above, with the locules divergent at the base. Styles divided, long, spreading, the stigmatic apices entire or shortly divided, somewhat swollen. Capsule ovoid; seeds fusiform, 0.5 mm long, winged apically.
