Droseratracyi (Diels) MacFarlane. Tracy's Sundew. Phen: Apr-Jun. Hab: Pine savannas, hillside seepage bogs; savanna/depression wetland ecotones. Dist: Sc. GA and Panhandle FL, west to e. LA.
Origin/Endemic status: Endemic
Taxonomy Comments: The notion that this species is not distinguishable from D. filiformis (or is only varietally distinct) is erroneous (Sorrie 1998a); see Schnell (1995) for a contrary view.
Other Comments:D. tracyi has been reported for SC by various authors, including Wynne (1944), but the basis for these reports is unknown.

plant sale text:Sundews catch very tiny insects by producing droplets of clear, sticky liquid which trap and hold prey as it is digested. Another common name for Tracy's Sundew is Snotgrass - touch the stem and you will know why! This southeastern native can be found growing in wet, sandy soils of the Gulf Coast. It produces very tiny pink flowers attractive to small pollinators. It will grow well in a mixture of peat and sand in a bog garden with other carnivorous plants.
