Drosera murfetii ‘The Druids, Tasmania’ is a temperate sundew native to Tasmania where it can be found growing at sea level and up into the mountains. D. murfetii is an odd looking species compared to other sundews and will often only produce one or two leaves at a time. The leaves may have many, few, or no carnivorous tentacles at all depending on its growth phase. D. murfetii is a slow grower and needs a cold dormancy to do well long term.
