Book excerpt: The genus Drosera, known also as sundews for their glistening appearance, consists of some 200 species of carnivorous plants that ensnare insects on leaves coated with sticky, mucilaginous glands. The Pinelands of southern New Jersey host some of the densest and most spectacular populations of Drosera in North America. This book is the first to document in detail the spectacular diversity and adaptability of Pinelands Drosera, including unique forms known only from the Pinelands, unconventional habitats, and winter survival strategies.
