[1][3][4][5] Drosera glanduligera is a small herbaceous plant with 15 to 20 concave spathulate leaves, each only 8–20 mm (0.31–0.79 in) long, arranged in a convex to nearly flat rosette.

When triggered, the outer snap-tentacles catapult prey onto the sticky glue-tentacles at the centre of the leaf, which slowly draw the prey into the concave depression of the leaf over a span of approximately 2 minutes, after which digestion commences.

[8] In 1996, Jan Schlauer argued that the primitive pollen type of D. glanduligera precludes it from being included under subg.

A 2003 paper that conducted phylogenetic analyses of chloroplast and ribosomal DNA sequences of 59 species of Drosera retained Coelophylla as a section under subg.

Plants must be kept well fed to ensure strong growth and blooming, with either natural prey or diluted foliar fertiliser.
