Drosera pulchella, a type of pygmy sundew (subgenus Bryastrum), is a species of carnivorous plant native to southwestern Australia.

[1] This species can typically be found in areas with abundant year-round moisture such as swamps, creeks, lakes and forests.

[3] Unusual among sundews, these plants have to be able to cope with the Australian dry season, so they have developed extensive roots so that they can obtain water when it becomes scarce.

On the ends of the leaves are tentacle-like projections that produce the sticky mucus-like substance that the plant uses to trap insects.

The plant makes dozens of gemmae, so many that it pushes the leaves away from the rosette at the center creating tension.
