Known as the Forked Sundew, it is easy to see how Drosera binata red got that name. The long upright leaves form a "Y" shape at the extremity. The erect stems can reach 20 inches high or more and branched in upper part.
The species can grow nearly ten inches tall. The leaves are oblong, linear to spatulate. The upper surface of the leaves have a covering of sticky tentacles, that attracts preys.
