Stolonifera is a section of ten tuberous perennial species in the genus Drosera that are endemic to south-west Western Australia.
In 1848, Jules Émile Planchon organized these three species under section Ergaleium series Erythrorhizae subseries Stoloniferae (initially spelled Stolmiferae).
In 1864, George Bentham reorganized the species under section Ergaleium, recognized fewer taxa, and suggested the reclassification of D. humilis as a variety of D. stolonifera.
In his 2005 revision of the section, however, he neglected to include a full basionym citation when elevating D. stolonifera subsp.
[1] Lowrie corrected this error in a short note in the 2011 volume of the journal Nuytsia where he provided the correct page number for the basionym and finally validated the name Drosera monticola, bringing the total number of species to ten.
