Showing Drosera depauperata
Droseraceae Salisb.
Drosera depauperata Lowrie & Conran , legitimate, scientific
Lowrie, A. (2014), Appendix. Carnivorous Plants of Australia Magnum Opus 3: 1270 APC [tax. nov.]
  • Type: "Western Australia. Southern shores of Lake Pleasant View, E of Manypeaks 34 50'01"S, 118 10'56"E, 16 November 2001, Allen Lowrie 2734 (holo: PERTH; iso: MEL)."
  • APC Dist.: WA
  • Etymology: "The epithet, depauperata, is from the Latin depauperatus (depauperate), in reference to its much-reduced flower size as compared to the morphologically similar flower of Drosera pulchella, one of its possible parents. The reduced flower size of D. depauperata is thought to be due to the influence of its other possible parent, D. australis, with its rather small flower."
