Drosera ordensis x falconeri is a sundew hybrid from the Petiolaris Complex. These plants display strong characteristics of the mother plant, D. ordensis and become densely covered in white hairs which provide protection from sun and dry heat. The parent plants are native to the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
