Drosera fragrans is a species of sundew endemic to the north of Western Australia and the Northern Territory. It was first described by Allen Lowrie in his 2014 Carnivorous Plants of Australia Magnum Opus.[2] Like other members of Drosera sect. Arachnopus it is an annual therophyte.[3]
The species name refers to the strong sweet scent produced by the plant's leaves and stem, which is described as reminiscent of honeydew melon.[4] It appears that this fragrance may influence the types of prey captured.[5][6]
