Carnivorous Plant Seeds
Sundews leaves are usually flat with hundreds of tentacles which hold a gland that produces the dew. The dew is very thick and sticky. When an insect gets stuck to some dew, more tentacles move in to get their dew covered glands against the insect to keep it from escaping.
The glands then re-absorb the nutrient rich fluid. Drosera lowriei is a perennial tuberous species in the genus Drosera that is endemic to Western Australia. It grows a rosette about 3 cm in diameter. It is native to an area northwest of Esperance. It grows in loam soils in wet zones near granite outcrops. CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE DROSERA SPECIES

The glands on top of the tentacles then secrete acids and enzymes which dissolve the insect.
