The magnificent flower, colour and variety of Drosera cistiflora will captivate any carnivorous plant enthusiast.

Drosera cistiflora is a perennial carnivorous plant. Elongated, spear-shaped leaves (20-40 mm x 4mm) which taper from top to bottom are scattered along the stem, usually alternately. Some plants form a primary basal rosette which has more narrowly elongated oval leaves. Plants are variable in growth forms and some do not have a noticeable basal rosette. The erect stems are unbranched and 100 to 400 mm high. Leaves are sessile and the stipules are hardly noteworthy or absent. Both types of tentacles occur near the base of the leaves. Mostly large elongated reddish knob-shaped tentacles are present on the upper leaf margin and tip.

The plants have one or two long, swollen roots which are covered with densely matted root hairs. A single or a few large white, yellow, mauve, pink or purple to dark red flowers are borne from August to September. Styles are fringed. Brown seeds are oval to ellipsoid and honey-combed. The seed capsule is top-shaped (turbinate).

This species is not threatened.

Drosera cistiflora is common in the Cape winter-rainfall regions, occurring from Namaqualand in the Northern Cape to Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape. The red flowering form is from the Malmesbury District.  The species occurs at altitudes of 20-1250 m on well-drained, moist, sandy soils on hills, slopes or flats in fynbos areas and in open clearings or post-fire when vegetation is low.
