Drosera capillaris

D. capillaris occur in subtropical to tropical seepage bogs, savannas, and grasslands often dominated by species of pine, including Pinus palustris (longleaf), P. elliottii (slash), or P. caribaea (Caribbean).^[12][6] Such habitats are subject to frequent fires (but less than their upland counterparts, which often are subject to seasonal burns). Like other species of sundew, D. capillaris is fire adapted, as elimination of competing plants facilitates proliferation of seedlings.^[6] Thick clay deposits both prevent the establishment of large trees or shrubs, and trap water. The resulting habitat are sunny but always wet. These habitats are highly acidic, sandy, and nutrient deficient, incentivizing carnivory. In North America, D capillaris grows concurrently with other unrelated species of carnivorous plants such as Sarracenia ssp. (Pitcher plants), Pingucula ssp. (Butterworts), and Utricularia ssp (bladderworts), as well as other species of Drosera. Across their entire range other common coexisting species include orchids, Eleocharis ssp. (Spikerushes), Rhynchospora ssp. (breaksedges), and Paspalum ssp.^[12][6]
