Droseridites is an extinct genus known only from fossil pollen, not a living plant, so it cannot be grown. It has possible links to the sundew (Droseraceae) or pitcher plant (Nepenthaceae) families.
Droseridites is a genus of extinct plants of possible droseracean or nepenthacean affinity. It is a form taxon known only from fossil pollen. Species assigned to this genus originate from numerous regions of the world, including Europe (from France to the Caucasus), India, Egypt, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Kerguelen Islands.
This genus is characterised by inaperturate and spinose pollen grains that are united in loose tetrahedral tetrads (groups of four). The grains are prolate, striate, and tricolpate. The colpi are slender and long, whereas the striae are very fine, densely packed, and situated parallel to the polar axis.
