This species is small. The rosette measures about 60mm. The stems can reach 120mm. The leaves consist of a hairy petiole 20 mm and a glandular blade 5mmlong and 2wide. It is a carnivorous plant.

Drosera neocaledonicais endemic to New Caledonia. Found only in the south of the island, it has only been found below 1,000m altitude insandy bogs.

The chromosome number ofDrosera neocaledonicais 2n=40. This common feature with Drosera spatulata (Kanto form) may suggest the existence of a common ancestor

Its species name was given in reference to New Caledonia.

D. neocaledonica is endemic to the French territory of New Caledonia, a remnant island of the old French Empire situated some 1,200 km (750 miles) east of the Australian mainland in the South Pacific. D. neocaledonica grows primarily in wet, sunny habitat such as seepages, shores of freshwater bodies of water, and flooded meadows. Plants have been observed growing partially underwater. Unlike other Drosera, which generally prefer peaty or sandy habitats largely devoid of minerals, D. neocaledonica is quite at home in iron and aluminum oxide-rich laterite soils and gravel. In fact, it is one of only two species in the genus currently known to not only tolerate, but also prefer lateritic soils, the other being D. ultramafica.
D. neocaledonica has exceptionally stunning silver hair lining its petiolesPopulations of D. neocaledonica are most densely concentrated on the southern side of the island, where it grows at elevations from sea level to 1000m. Humidity is influenced by the prevalence of trade winds and is usually high throughout the year at around 75% RH. At high elevations in the island interior, temperature lows may approach freezing during winter. At sea level during the summer, temperatures as high as 35C (95F) have been recorded, while winter temperatures average around 16C (60F). Due to the wide range in its elevation, plants from different populations may demonstrate varying tolerances of different temperature ranges. As many of the plants in cultivation do not have location or elevation data attached, this may contribute to the confusion regarding their temperature preferences.
