This is shaping up as a fine article - almost there. I assume that the authors are looking towards WP:FAC? -- ALoan (Talk) 12:12, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Here is an image I took near Boranup, near Margaret River. I will look up and try to attach a name to it. i didn't stick it on the page yet as i am a newcomer :) Cas Liber 06:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
It looks to me like young plants of a tuberous climbing species, possibly D. peltata... hadn't looked carefully enough. Since it is flowering in the rosette stage, something like D. glanduligera is more likely. Thanks for uploading the picture! We could use more of these... most species aren't represented in the commons yet, and I certainly don't have pics of Australian species to upload! As long as they are taken close enough and are sharp, I can find someone to identify each. For an ID guide, check out Carnivorous Plants of Australia Vol 1-3 by Allen Lowrie. These can be hard to get a hold of, but are real gems. --

I took it with an 2 megapixel point n'snap old digital. I now have a Canon 350 12 megapixel thingy. I know it is a bit far away from the plant but I thought it looked nice in its moss bed. Feel free to use it where you can :) Cas Liber 23:02, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Doesn't the cladogram need a scale? Usually a scale gives percent divergence for a single-gene phylogeny or some indication of time or the extent of evolutionary divergence for other relationships. However, the Cladistics page says that this isn't always the case. Which kind is this diagram? TimVickers 22:53, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
It could even be a featured article, so I have just a few minor problems:
But that's all. Great work!

I corrected the illogical negative "unable" and replaced it with "able" here:
The insects are used to supplement the poor mineral nutrition that sundews are able to obtain from the soil they grow in.
but according to the article, this should probably be changed to something like this:
The insects are used to supplement the poor mineral nutrition that sundews are able to obtain from the poor soils they (can therefore) grow in.
or this:
The insects are used to supplement the plants' poor ability to absorb mineral nutritions from the soil they grow in.
The article doesn't seem to say whether they grow in poor soils because they can digest insects or if they developed the ability to digest insects because they at some evolutionary stage grew in increasingly poor soils.

Hi, can anyone identify this sundew? It's about 2.5 cm in diameter.-- Slashme ( talk) 06:50, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
I think that a section about the culture of sundews should be added since these plants are commonly grown by people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.30.67.218 ( talk) 22:12, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm not a plant expert, but while uploading some particularly nice pics of plants I found on flickr to commons, I added a complete, flowering specimen of Drosera citrina. If anyone's interested, it could go for a stub, and the pic might possibly have a place in-context in this article, too, simply because of the concept of otherwise-carnivorous plants throwing flowers up disproportionately higher than its low-lying traps so as not to ensnare the pollinators (well, not during flowering season, anyway :P). -- slakr\ talk / 07:22, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
This article is unusual in that there are actually two subpages of lists of species which should be merged. Also list articles should be called Lists and categorised as Taxonomic lists, not taxonomy articles. This is being implemented across the Project.

In the discussion on flowering, speculation about the purpose of long-stalked flowers is unsupported, at least by the source given. The referenced study only mentions that there is stratification between the prey and flower visitor species. This equilibrium could just as easily affirm the theory as challenge it. I'm removing the speculation for now, and reformatting the surrounding text appropriately. Diewelt ( talk) 13:00, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Many paragraphs lack references and some are only half-referenced. The subsection "Habit" and the section "Habitat" have no references at all. This is a violation of criterion 2b. The last GAR happened 13 years ago, see Talk:Drosera/GA1. Phlsph7 ( talk) 15:11, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
