Drosera bicolor
Introduction '''''Drosera bicolor''''' is an erect perennial tuberous species in the genus ''Drosera'' that is endemic to Western Australia. It produces a basal rosette of leaves similar to that of ''D. peltata'' and the stem grows to  high. Its white flowers that have a red spot near the petal base emerge from September to October. ''D. bicolor'' grows in deep silica sand on heathland along the upper Phillips River and south-east of Lake King. ''Drosera bicolor'' was first described by Allen Lowrie and Sherwin Carlquist in 1992.Lowrie notes in his book ''Carnivorous Plants of Australia'' that this species is distinct from other related species, including ''D. peltata'' and ''D. salina'', by its bicoloured flowers and the arrangement of its petioles and number of flowers. Some, however, consider this species to simply be a variety or synonymous with ''D. peltata'', though this opinion has not been formally published.
