Drosera madagascariensis is a robust stem-forming species with a clearly visible
stem, which stands upright in the case of younger plants and either uses its leaves to anchor itself to surrounding vegetation as it matures or bends over and forms a scrambling stem.
Leaves The plant grows to a height of . The upper part of the plant is composed of carnivorous leaves while the lower part of the stem is covered with the dried remains of older leaves. The leaf arrangement on the stem is
alternate. The
petioles are 1.5–3 cm long and support 10–15 mm long and 7 mm wide
obtuse to spatulate
laminae. The root system is relatively undeveloped, serving mainly as an anchor and for water absorption, since nutrient uptake is achieved through carnivory.
Flowers and fruit Drosera madagascariensis forms one or two slightly
pubescent inflorescences which are tall and bear 4-12
flowers on 2–5 mm long
peduncles. The
sepals are ovate and slightly pubescent. The pink petals are obovate, long and 4–6 mm wide. The seed capsules are
dehiscent and bear numerous seeds up to 0.6 mm long. == Distribution ==
