	Sundew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The range of the sundew genus stretches from Alaska in the north to New Zealand in the south.
		Sundews were used as medicinal herbs as early as the 12th century, when an Italian doctor from the School of Salerno by the name of Matthaeus Platearius described the plant as an herbal remedy for coughs under the name "herba sole".
		The corms of the tuberous sundews native to Australia are considered a delicacy by the Australian Aborigines.

	Sundew, Herb Monograph - Flora Health Herb Encyclopedia
		Sundew is primarily used to treat respiratory conditions such as bronchitis and whooping cough, as well as coughs due to colds and dry irritating coughs.
		The Madagascar sundew originated in East Africa and Madagascar where it can be found in damp areas such as bogs and along the shores of rivers and ponds, although it too is now a protected species.
		Sundew is available in liquid and solid forms for both internal and external use.

	Dwarf Sundew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dwarf or Small Sundew (Drosera brevifolia), also known as the Red Sundew, is a carnivorous plant of the family Droseraceae and is the smallest sundew species native to the United States.
		The dwarf sundew is usually a small plant, typically no more than 3 centimeters across, though some are known to grow up to 5 cm in the open sandy woods in west Louisiana, with flower spikes up to 15 cm.
		The range of the dwarf sundew is from east Texas to Florida and north to Virginia.

	Sundews
		Sundews (Drosera) are propably the most diverse genus of carnivorous plants in the world, with more than 120 species world- wide.
		Both sundews commonly live side-by-side with Pitcher Plants, butterworts, and bladderworts in bogs and savannas and are native in at least Leon, Anderson, Robertson, Henderson, Angelina, Jasper, Tyler, Newton, Nacogdoches, and Wood Counties.
		It is not unusual to see these two sundews carpet large areas, so thickly one cannot put their foot down without steping on tens of them, growing out of wet sand or long-fiber sphagnum, or just overflowing from a road-side ditch.

	AllRefer - Species: Round-Leaved Sundew \| Drosera rotundifolia > Species:
		In the East, round-leaved sundew is found from Nova Scotia south to Georgia, Florida, and Alabama and west to the Mississippi River, Iowa, and Minnesota [14,19,21,44,45].
		The wetland habitats that round-leaved sundew grows in are important breeding and staging areas for migratory waterfowl and are rich in a variety of wildlife [2].
		Round-leaved sundew frequency was relatively stable in the five summers following a late March, 1974, wildfire in a Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris) woodland in Scotland; frequency ranged from 35 to 55 percent [53].

	Plant Traps and Decoys: Chapter V
		The round-leaved sundew and the long leaved sundew are both common plants in Great Britain; the first has leaves almost exactly like salt-spoons in shape, with little round blades on long, narrow stalks, while the second has longer, narrower blades which remind one more of mustard spoons.
		Thus the leaf of the sundew is first a trap to catch the insect and secondly a stomach to digest it.
		The sundew indeed appears ready for all emergencies, for if two small insects alight on a leaf at the same time, half the tentacles upon it will clutch one insect while the rest turn their attention to the other one.

		Naphthaquinones are believed to give sundew the antispasmodic (or relief from coughing spasms) effect that has made it such a popular cough remedy in Europe.
		Based on this effect, sundew is often referred to as an herbal antitussive (a substance capable of preventing or relieving coughing).
		In Europe, liquid preparations of sundew are often combined with thyme, another antitussive, in cough syrups for adults and children.

		Sundews can be as small as a penny or as large as a small bush.
		Their tentacle - covered leaves come in a wide and imaginative variety of design: circular leaves, wedge-shaped leaves, leaves that are peltate or linear or as filiform as a thin blade of grass.

	Sundew Matt's Carnivorous Plant Page Introduction
		While sundew tentacles often slowly fold over their prey, they are considered "passive fly-paper traps".
		Although it's not as much fun watching sundews catch their prey, they are, in my opinion, much more beautiful than any other carnivorous plants.
		Sundews are quite diverse - they come in all different shapes and sizes and can be found all over the world.

	SUNDEW’S HISTORY
		In 1958, SUNDEW engaged in one of her most noteworthy missions when she was sent to the aid of the Carl D. Bradley who had cracked in two and was sinking.
		SUNDEW braved waves of 30 to 40 feet as she rescued the only two survivors of the 35-man crew from a wooden life raft where they endured the elements for nearly 14 hours.
		In 1963 SUNDEW got underway on a mercy mission of transporting five tons of bailed hay and a large supply of grain to Beaver Island in northern Lake Michigan for a herd of 150 Herefords, a type of hardy red beef cattle, who’s food supply was running dangerously low.

		D. intermedia (narrow leaf sundew) This plant is up to 3 inches in diameter (common) often larger in wetter conditions with leaves partially erect.

	Care, Cultivation and Growing Requirements of Sundew Plants, Drosera
		Sundews are probably the best plant for a gardener who has just begun to grow insectivores, because of their durability and ease of care.
		Sundews should be grown in a mixture of Sphagnum moss mixed with peat moss and a little perlite (or coarse builders sand) to keep the mixture from compacting.
		Sundews grow best with a summer temperature range of 70-100 degrees and winter temperatures between 38-45 degrees (their dormant period).

		Greenland and Newfoundland to Alaska, south along the Pacific coast to California and inland to Montana and Colorado; in the East, from Nova Scotia south to Florida, west to the Mississippi River, and Minnesota.
		However, fires in bogs are generally patchy and sundew probably survives in unburned microsites.
		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.

		The Round-Leaf Sundew (Drosera rotundifolia) is a small carnivorous plant normally found in acidic bogs of elevations higher than 2,000 ft. These plants are typically 1.5 to 2 dm high and have flowers from 4 to 7 mm broad.
		Although the habitat occupied by the Sundew is clearly defined, distribution of Sundew throughout West Virginia is unclear.
		A primary research goal of this project is to further study the distribution of the Round-Leaf Sundew as related to proposed West Virginia highway construction.

		(The bogs in which sundews grow are typically low in nutrients.) Connecticut has three species of sundew, most easily distinguished by leaf shape.
