The Drosera binata from northern New South Wales reach massive proportions. Plants here regularly attain 30-50 leaf points. Exceptional specimens branch once more on each tip to double the count. I even found one plant that produced a massive 112 points!

The plants need specific environmental conditions to attain these sizes. They must be growing underneath a thick layer of swamp bushes about half a meter high. The plants push a long lamina through the scrub, on top of which the petiole expands. The first flush of spring produces the largest leaves. Plants growing in exposed niches such as recently burnt swamps and trail clearings are more compact and branch less. Similarly, plants in cultivation generally bifurcate less than the same clones in nature.
