About

Drosera stenopetala is an insectivorous, rosette-forming perennial sub-alpine or alpine herb. It is endemic to New Zealand.

Where it grows

The range of D. stenopetala extends from the Ruahine and Tararua Ranges in the north down the Southern Alps to Stewart Island. It is also found on the Auckland Islands and Campbell Island. It is a wetland obligate, and is patchily distributed in cold environments such as montane to alpine bogs, seepages or wet rock faces, but can occur to sea-level in the colder, southerly parts of its range.
