Drosera erythrorhiza, commonly known as the red ink sundew, is a tuberous, perennial carnivorous plant endemic to the coastal southwest of Western Australia. It belongs to the genus Drosera, specifically the section Erythrorhiza, and is notable for its rosette growth form and many-flowered cymose inflorescences, which can bear up to 50 white flowers.

 

Typically, the plant forms 3–5 broad, round leaves per rosette and reaches a diameter of 3–8 cm, with larger specimens found in woodland environments and smaller ones on granite outcrops. It thrives in well-drained sandy soils within heathlands and open woodlands, and occasionally in moss on granite.

 

D. erythrorhiza is part of a complex of closely related species, including D. collinaD. magna, and D. squamosa, and is distinguished by its leaf shape and size. It often forms dense clonal colonies, although this trait varies by location.
