Drosera - the Sundews

Approximately 150 species occupy temperate and tropical regions of the world.  Readily propagated by seed, clonal expansion is easy and fairly quick.  In vitro culture from seeds or roots can be challenging due to the delicate nature of the leaves of some species, in regards to surface sterilization.
