Drosera lowriei is a rosetted tuberous sundew native to the granite outcrops of the Wheatbelt Region in Western Australia, with isolated populations also found near rivers in the Fitzgerald River National Park. It typically grows in mossy loam soils on drainage fields around granite formations.
The plant forms compact rosettes about 3–4 cm in diameter in its typical form, with a larger "giant form" reaching up to 7 cm. Its overlapping obovate leaves, which become smaller toward the center, range in color from olive green to deep red. D. lowriei produces single flowers on short, prostrate peduncles after its initial leaf flush, with the typical form bearing up to 8 scapes and the giant form up to 50.
It is closely related to Drosera zonaria and was formally described in 1992 by N.G. Marchant, named in honor of carnivorous plant expert Allen Lowrie.
