[3] Until the early 21st century it was mostly considered a highly variable species with a wide distribution including Australia,[4] but since 2000 several distinct species have been separated from D. indica within Drosera section Arachnopus, which is often referred to as the ‘Drosera indica complex’.

Many of these species are endemic to Australia, but D. indica itself is now widely considered to be absent from that country.

[5] Drosera indica is an unbranched, annual herbaceous plant, supported by a fibrous root system and reaching a height of 5–50 cm (2–20 in).

Flower petals can be white, pink, orange, or purple.
