Drosera binata var. dichotoma GIANT is one of the largest sundews in the world. It is ginormous, the leaves, flower stalks and flowers are like other binata but three times the size. The leaves are forked once or twice, producing 2 or 4 leaf tips. Plant will turn very red in good light in summer.

Drosera binata is a native of Australia, primarily in coastal areas from Fraser Island in Queensland, southwards down through New South Wales and Victoria to Tasmania and the south-east corner of South Australia. The range extends to New Zealand where it is common below an elevation of 1000 metres, on both North and South Island, Stewart Island/Rakiura and on the Chathams. Some populations go dormant in the winter and may survive down to USDA zone 6, while others are truly tropical.
