Drosera stricticaulis
Introduction '''''Drosera stricticaulis''''', the '''erect sundew''', is an erect perennial tuberous species in the carnivorous plant genus ''Drosera''. It is endemic to Western Australia and is found near watercourses and granite outcrops in sandy clay or loam. ''D. stricticaulis'' produces small, cup-shaped carnivorous leaves along green, glandular stems that can be  high. Pink flowers bloom from July to October. ''Drosera stricticaulis'' was first described by Ludwig Diels in 1906 as a variety of ''D. macrantha''. In 1913, Oswald Hewlett Sargent elevated the variety to species rank. A recently described infraspecific taxon under ''D. macrantha'', ''D. macrantha'' subsp. ''eremaea'', was described in 1992 by N. G. Marchant and Allen Lowrie but reclassified as a subspecies of ''D. stricticaulis'' in 1996 when Jan Schlauer provided a comprehensive revision and new field key to the genus. Other authorities, such as Western Australia's Department of Environment and Conservation's FloraBase still recognize subspecies ''eremaea'' under ''D. macrantha''.
