Drosera bulbosa is a tuberous carnivorous plant endemic to Western Australia, particularly thriving in regions such as the Eastern Wheatbelt. It is typically found in nutrient-poor, sandy soils, often in open areas with good sunlight exposure.
 
This species is well adapted to the Mediterranean climate of the region, characterized by cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers. During the growing season, which begins with the first autumn rains, the plant emerges from its underground tuber and completes its life cycle before retreating back underground to survive the summer drought.
 
Morphologically, Drosera bulbosa forms a compact rosette of leaves with a distinctive raised midrib. The leaves are covered in glandular hairs that secrete sticky mucilage to trap insects. There are several forms of this species, including a narrow-leaf variant that displays intense reddish coloration due to its tentacles. The flowers are typically white and bloom early in the growing season, often opening for just a single day. The plant’s tubers are crucial for its survival, allowing it to endure harsh conditions by storing nutrients and moisture underground
