Welcome to Nano Nursery's guide to the world of sundews. This encyclopedia connects botanical identity, natural history and practical growing information, helping you understand both the diversity of Drosera and the particular plant in your collection.
How to use this encyclopedia
Start with the foundation chapters for names, biology and growing conditions, then choose the growing group closest to your plant. These groups are useful reading routes rather than equivalent botanical ranks: geography, seasonal behaviour and ancestry can overlap. Return to a species-level source whenever a broad group description does not fully explain your plant.
The core collection currently contains 30 unpublished text drafts. The titles below show the planned reading sequence; they will become public article links as chapters are released. The A–Z checklist records names for the expanding species library. An entry in that checklist does not mean an individual species profile has already been completed.
Individual profiles prepared
260 of the 260 baseline species and 15 of the 15 baseline named hybrids have individual text drafts saved in Shopify. Three additional profiles cover separately tracked taxonomic updates, giving 278 individual profiles. These are first text drafts: entry depth varies with the available evidence, and further editorial development and imagery remain pending.

What the species checklist includes
The baseline was captured from Kew Plants of the World Online on 22 September 2026. It contains 260 species entries and 15 separately counted named hybrids. These are dated checklist counts, not a claim that the final number of recognised sundews can never change. Names and acceptance may differ between databases and recent specialist revisions. Kew Drosera genus record.
Every baseline entry appears below. Species marked with a draft status have an individual text profile saved; unmarked species still await individual profiles. The editorial register retains the full author strings and records unresolved synonyms, classification, distribution and article assignments explicitly instead of filling those fields by inference.
Cultivars, informal trade names and locality labels are not included in the species count. Chapter 28 explains how those records differ. The supplementary references cover the checked subspecies, varieties and forms, and documented cultivar selections. They distinguish accepted treatments, historical names and unresolved differences.

Recent names and unresolved differences
Drosera bracteosa, described in 2025 from the Northern Territory, is tracked separately from the captured baseline. Its profile addresses the diagnostic bracts and the limits of current cultivation evidence. Original description. The 2026 treatment of D. × arenaria is also tracked separately.
Drosera floridana is treated at species rank in Juve and Fleischmann's 2026 publication. It is discussed in the thread-leaved chapter and tracked as an update outside the captured Kew list, pending reconciliation. Older labels referring to Florida plants need to be assessed against their provenance and the treatment; colour alone does not justify renaming them. Juve and Fleischmann, 2026.
Two spelling or application differences are also retained openly. The baseline lists D. burmanni, while D. burmannii is familiar in cultivation and used in the corresponding chapter title. It lists D. finlaysonii, while specialist Arachnopus literature uses D. finlaysoniana. The relevant chapters discuss the discrepancies. Original accession labels should be preserved alongside any later determination.
How a species profile will be built
Each full profile will establish the accepted treatment and important synonyms, explain identification and similar species, describe distribution and habitat without exposing sensitive sites, and separate sourced cultivation advice from documented grower experience. Propagation methods, seasonal behaviour, conservation evidence and image permissions will be checked for that species.
Every entry will carry a review date and sources. Where evidence is limited, the profile will say so. A rare sundew with little documented cultivation information deserves an honest account of that gap, rather than a generic care recipe copied from a common species.
Release and review
The proposed core release plan runs weekly from 2 October 2026 to 23 April 2027, with the index accompanying the opening chapter. Those dates remain editorial proposals. No article in this collection has been scheduled or published as part of draft preparation.
The species-profile phase is provisionally planned to follow from 30 April 2027. The checklist will be updated as research is reconciled and profiles are completed. Draft status, published status and taxonomic changes will be tracked separately so readers can see what the encyclopedia actually covers.
Contents updated on 23 September 2026; baseline captured on 22 September 2026. All core articles remain text drafts pending editorial and image review.
