Drosera neesii
Introduction '''''Drosera neesii''''', the '''jewel rainbow''' is an erect or twining perennial tuberous species in the carnivorous plant genus ''Drosera''. It is endemic to Western Australia and grows near swamps or granite outcrops in sand, clay, or laterite. ''D. neesii'' produces small, cup-shaped carnivorous leaves in groups of three along stems that can be  high. Pink flowers bloom from August to December. ''Drosera neesii'' was first described by Johann Georg Christian Lehmann in 1844.The first infraspecific taxon was described when George Bentham reduced ''D. sulphurea'' to a variety, a decision which was later reversed. Then in 1982, N. G. Marchant described a new subspecies, ''D. neesii'' subsp. ''borealis'', which is only found in the species' northern range.
