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 flower has an alcoholic scent which attracts flies ? hence its alternative name of brandy bottle.
tea made from the roots is used in the treatment of dysentery, diarrhoea etc...
