Drosera burmannii is a small, compact sundew normally spanning only 2 cm (0.79 in). It is one of the fastest trapping sundews as well, and its leaves can curl around an insect in only a few seconds, compared to the minutes or hours it takes other sundews to surround their prey. Generally, varieties of D. burmannii are temperate, but the 'Beerwah' variety from Queensland does not require dormancy. D. burmannii is an annual, so it produces large amounts of seed.
