Drosera citrina is a pygmy sundew, a type of carnivorous plant. It is native to Western Australia. The Latin specific epithet citrina means "lemon coloured", refrring to the colour of the flowers.[4] It is closely related to Drosera nivea, which was considered a variety of D. citrina in the past called Drosera citrina var. nivea [5]
Reproduction
Drosera citrina can reproduce both sexually and asexually. They produce flowers which are lemon yellow or occasionally white. They also reproduce asexually by producing gemmae (singular gemma) : modified leaves which can grow into a genetically identical individual to the parent plant.[citation needed]
Uses
Drosera citrina is used as an ornamental plant and cultivated by horticulturalists and carnivorous plant enthusiasts.[citation needed]
