  Drosera madagascariensis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drosera madagascariensis is a carnivorous plant of the Sundew genus (Drosera).
Drosera madagascariensis is a robust stem-forming species with a clearly visible stem, which stands upright in the case of younger plants and either uses its leaves to anchor itself to surrounding vegetation as it matures or bends over and forms a scrambling stem.
Drosera madagascariensis is native to the tropical Africa (Guinea, Nigeria, Cameroon, Congo, Angola, Zambesi, Tanganyika) as far south as South Africa and east to the island of Madagascar.

Drosera is coarse-fibred peat moss mixed with silica sand (fine-grained grit), or perlite in a ratio of 1:1-3.
Drosera should be cultivated next to a window with southern or southeastern exposure, directly in trays, or in a ventilated glass-case or aquarium on the windowsill.
Drosera is not necessary and the plants may be cultivated, for example, on the indoor windowsill year-round with no apparent problems.

The name as stated is not legitimate, and the photo's in question are not of Drosera intermedia (details of stipules and petiole do not seem to conform, unless this is a *very* different form!).
Possibly this is one of the adventive taxa to be found in Brasil: D. esmeraldae or D. colombiana comes to mind, or some form of introgressed D. capillaris: the taxonomy of the adventive taxa in Brasil is confused and needs much work.
If Drosera capillaris and D. intermedia aren't sympatric in Brasil, then the upright form can't be explained as in the case in the Southern U.S. where the upright habit is likely a result of an hybridization of these two mentioned species.

Early herbalists believed that the 'dew' on the sundew leaves, which persisted even in the hottest sun (hence the name!) possessed the property to endow longevity and youthfulness to those who drank it.
Sundews (Drosera spp.) generally survive better than other carnivorous plants and can naturally invade disturbed bog sites where other vegetation has been removed, such as after roadside ditching or burning.

Byblis, or the Rainbow Plant, is a lovely, branched stem plant that looks similar to some Drosera species, in that the leaves are covered in tentacles which secrete a substance which attracts, captures, and digests prey.
The overall effect is that when the plant is seen in direct sunlight, it often produces a prismatic, "rainbow"-like effect.
Most droseras, especially the tropical varieties, are good plants for first-time growers, as they are very easy to grow in a window sill, and have very simple requirements.

Darwin cultivated sundews and showed that those that were fed insects were more vigorous, produced more flowers, and set more seeds than the ones that were denied any prey (in Heslop-Harrison, 1978).
Pate and Dixon found that 40% of the amino acid arginine stored in the underground corms of Drosera had come from the insects they had experimentally fed with labeled nitrogen (in Heslop-Harrison, 1978).
