Description: Whole plants are about 3" in diameter, the stems are just over 1mm thick with the pad 6mm x 3mm in an oval shape. They seem o be growing in the old ruts left by a vehicle, which I guess are a bit damper than the surrounding heath.
(Have changed to Drosera intermedia because the pads were not round, but it maybe Anglica)

Description: The Oblong Leaved Sundew is very similar to the Round Leaved Sundew but the leaves are less rounded and more oval in shape.
Found on acid soils in boggy areas of heathland it is less common than the Round Leaved Sundew and it seems to like wetter areas rather than damp, often growing in shallow puddles or pools.
Both Oblong Leaved and Round Leaved Sundew have small cream/yellow flowers from June through to August. Its an interesting balance needing insects to cross pollinate with other plants to produce seed but also needing insects for food!

Description: Not sure if this is the true species or a hybrid as D.rotundifolia definitely grows within a coupe of hundred yards.

Description: is it Drosera anglica or D. intermedia? Plants significantly smaller than meaty versions of round-leaved sundew growing close by but still about 8cm tall so they were not small.
