Drosera madagascariensis is a tropical erect African species. In nature, it grows in Madagascar and tropical Africa, Niger, Angola, west Zaïre, to Tanzanie, Swaziland, Transvaal and Natal in South Africa. The natural habitat is sandy marshes. The leaves are held erect away from the stem and eventually fold down to clothe the stem as it grows taller. The species can grow nearly ten inches tall. The leaves are oblong, linear to spatulate. The upper surface of the leaves have a covering of sticky tentacles, that attracts preys. The leaves, curl around any captured prey like a fist. The flowers are pink or purplish-red.
It 's an insectivorous plant, it can survive in nitrogen poor soils because it gets the nutrients it needs from insects. The upper surfaces of leaves are covered with hairs that secrete a sweet sticky substance. This attracts insects, which become smeared with it and unable to escape. The plant then exudes a digestive fluid that enables it to absorb most of the insect into its system.
